During the winter months I like to run a little slower.Don't use a speed control on my boat.All I do is put the Rapala next to the boat and find a good action speed before I hook it to the downrigger.After I sink the ball I keep an eye on how far the rigger cable swings back so I can keep that speed....I like to put about 75 yards of line out so when I see a fish I have enough time to put my Rapala at the same level as the fish before it swims past him.It also gives you more time to get it out of the way of the bottom so you don't snag.
Rapalas hook fish so you can let them go.[fishin]
