Otter creek

[dubob]

So I recently bought a kayak with an electric trolling motor. I would like to try trolling for trout, something new to me. Looks like using snap weights are a great way to get down in the water column. I run 8lb mono on my poles. Would this be sufficient to use 1-2 oz. weights or would I need to use heavier line?

You might want to go heavier on the line as suggested.  My trolling rods all carry 12 or 14 lb test line.  You might also want to investigate Dipsy Divers (https://sportfishingbuddy.com/dipsy-diver-rig/) vs. snap on weights.
