Thanks good simple info.

[@minibar7165]

enjoyed your videos as always, thanks. I was hoping you would share the speed you are trolling at, fast and slow are relative terms, the actual speed in mph or kts would give us a better idea.

Thanks guys. It's coming up on Mahi mahi season in Bali.

[@outdoorsaddictionswithbobb7400]

Love the videos bro wish i could fish with you guys never done it really want too do it

[@micsonicman]

Im a proud member..Any tips on storing these lures? End up a mess in my box and bucket.

[@gustavodiaz4689]

Good tips thanks guys! I’m trying to learn more about salt water fishing can you guys do a complete set up with poles, rods and bate for trolling please?

[@pressurepointoutdoors6181]

A good beginning setup is a penn squall 30vsw spooled with 80 pond braid. And a 30 - 80 pound rod. This setup is fun for small fish but can handle bigger fish. Good trolling bait is ballyhoo or mullet. Thats a super simple rig to catch lots of fish

[@donaldsoderblom815]

Thank you for the good info. Would you suggest trolling weights on these or keep them on top of the water? Thanks in advance. New to trolling.

[@cmfishing6187]

Always look for birds. Also helps to have a large spread of different baits until you can key in on what they’re biting

[@MiamiWatchMods]

agreed

[@dennispropheter9724]

I saw and asked questions from some capt. and i was told Barbie pink, black and purple ,and black and red , are the feathers i should use?

[@bensosa8618]

Are they better with Planer or top water with these lures??

[@joshuarobinson4618]

will these work in the Bahamas and off and around Virginia Beach?

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

I met Carlos while I was in there last December. Great shop. Good help!

[@michaeljbassler]

Does this work on the west coast?

[@marksimmons7721]

What is a number? What is your definition of fast?

[@robertleon1504]

Salt weak!
I need to see some fishing footage!

[@pierpimps]

Where can I buy these worms at? Thanks

[@MiamiWatchMods]

Went fishing offshore just outside of key largo yesterday for mahi. Out of all the lures I used, the navy one with rainbow colors on the sides hit every time.

[@minibar7165]

Could have been a great video, but stating to troll “slow” or “fast” they are relative, meaningless, terms. You could have stated “troll slow, at 3-4 mph or fast at 7-8 mph” … what speeds did you mean?

Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community

Rigged balleyhoos rarely fail either
