You need to slow troll this rig at 1.5 to 2.5 knots which usually requires a kicker motor.
Dusty, the link didn't work, so I fixed it for you here. That's a great read. THANK YOU for posting it. Since I'm a Downrigger fisherman anyways, that method is going right into my "must use" book for future reference. My kicker is a 9.8 Mercury engine, so slow and steady is not a problem. I may give that "toad" method a try also. Looks fun.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
