Power Trolling while Long Line Trolling ?

[quadlee]

So I'm looking at adding 2 power trolling rods to my long line set up. I long line out the back of the boat and I'm looking at adding 2 18ft B&M power troller rods to each side of the boat with 2-3 ounce weights above double jig heads / roadrunners. Anyone ever done this ? It wont really be considered pushing because it will be a down rod running off the side of the boat. Just wondering if its worth the extra money to add the 2 longer rods to my existing long line rods ?

I’ve had moderate success with that technique. It seems to shine more for me when the crappies are down toward the bottom. Landing them is a little tougher as there was no tiring of the fish when winding in…

more rods is worth it imo..let's you experiment more

good to add those when the catching is slow

I use a similar set up and the 2 extras always snag a few

If you dreamt it, you should do it.

I use this technique and some days it beats long lining. You can gain depth control very easily.

Sounds like a plan- just steer clear of any brush!
