Anyone do it? I think the action would be good on a shortline. I have been trying to long line them on the shallow setting but they wander and find every loose log/limb in the water even in open water.

We'll be giving it a try on Sabaskong this week. I'll report back next week as to our results.

I've been trialling this a little bit with both the 10" and 12" straight back off the back corner beside the prop wash, 15' of line to the 5' leader. No problems with it, haven't seen a fish yet though.

if your lake has a good propwash bite they should be good.. I generally run them 20-40' off of planer boards

I ran 10/12 inch head locks 35 to 40 feet with no problems & boated three. So it was a first for me. It appears to work ok.
