Set up for trolling Macks?
I would like to find out how you guys are setting up to troll your Macks?
Are you running braid to a short flouro leader of a certain length? Or are you running braid to a top shot of mono? I know some use weights and some just fly line your Macks. Can some of you that have had success this year catching yellowtail chime in with how you are rigging up? Thanks in advance for the help |

Braid, 4-5 feet of 30 lb seguar flouro. 1/0 hook. No weight.
Albright connection from braid to flouro, Palomar to hook. |

How fast or slow are you trolling? I just clocked myself at a comfortable leisurely pace last week and I average about 2.5 using Navionics
I can keep that pace without getting tired Is that about right or should I be trolling slower? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've caught 4 yt this year. 1 hit a surface iron about 15' from the yak and 1 ate a bait like 8' from the yak. So lately I've been trolling baits closer to the kayak than I have in the past. I can't give an actual distance, just closer. It also makes it quicker to get the bait in when a dog comes by as well as avoids tangles with others that have baits 100 yards back. One more thing, match the size of the hook to the bait but I've been using 3/0 to 5/0 circle hooks. Mike
