Ive trolled rapalas for thresher but you have a higher % chance to tail hook them then with live bait and circle hook. And tail hooked thresher are not fun from a kayak

Oh contrair, they are a lot of fun to fight when tail hooked. I troll rapalas, green mac, blue mac and sardine, I have some in the 4" and 5" range and have gotten cuda and T-shark on them (Yep, tail hooked). I know of a couple of folks who have also gotten WSB using them.

Trolling plugs can work well at times. I've caught plenty of calicos, cuda, and bonito on them. I don't care too much for the multiple treble hooks on those things though. I've done well over the years trolling crocodile spoons as well. They're the go to in baja and they work north of the boarder. I also troll swim baits. They tend to move better at slower speeds and even when you stop of slow way down they are still fishing. I've caught 2 YT over the years trolling swim baits. Mike
