| Will be doing some fishing from a boat this year, and have a couple questions for anyone familiar with propwash trolling.
I'm guessing this is basically a shallow water technique? About how far back is best and would you use erratic lures or lures that track relatively true?
Thanks for any help. Tim |

Location: SE, WI. | Every lure is prop wash material. Every lure can be trolled. I would say from 0 -20 feet of line out qualifies to the term “prop washing”. Propping can be done in 4’- 40’ of water! What’s even more Unique, is building lures to fine tune this presentation!!! JD

| I know guys that prop wash in deep water. It's not just a shallow water technique at all. And like mentioned above you can toss whatever you want in the prop wash! Fun way to fish. |

Location: WI | Spinnerbaits are great propwash baits over shallow weeds. Big Believers are awesome and will walk all over. I would guess 60% of the fish I get trolling are on down rods in the propwash.

Location: Walker, MN | We propwash troll in 5-150 f.o.w. I like a big jointed crankbait for a panicked look. |

| Any depth is good for propwash trolling.
My best 2 baits for that are these two.

some days the fish want straight baits some they want jointed. Biggest musky I've ever had on hit a walleye MX9 in the wash. Sadly, it pulled off 6' from the net.
