When the water temperature gets above 75 or so I troll crankbaits 2-2.5 mph. As far as depth control I don’t have a line counter. I make a good long cast let out a little more line and then if I am in 15 foot of water I will try to hit the bottom to see if it’s truly running 15 feet. Then if I am in 25 feet of water at least I know how deep my crankbait is running. So I will troll A-Rigs from about November through April when the water is cooler. This is more for hybrids, I do use a few planer boards for this, preferably in deeper water to prevent to many hang ups. I use 50 lb power pro braid for this with the Norman lures speed clips. I use the same clips for trolling crankbaits. I will use 20 pound PowerPro braid with 12 pound mono leader. Anyway those set ups have been very productive for me over the years.
