trolling speeds

[kd...]

I used to use plastic buckets to slow my rig down. I tied one on each rear cleat with about 7-8 ft of nylon rope. Then I got fancy and bought trolling bags. The bags are bigger and slow the boat down more but for convenience, the buckets were a lot less trouble. They (the buckets) would sink down in the water when I stopped and I didn't have to worry about getting them in the prop. With the bags I always have to watch to keep them out of trouble. They are also a lot longer than the buckets. If I hadn't already bought them, I'd just use the buckets.

Just my two cents worth.
