Trolling Dawgs

[Quinn]

Anybody had any luck trolling helidawgs, bulldawgs, or any other plastic bait? You always here about trolling crankbaits or spinnerbaits, what about plastics?

i have done it dont have much faith in it.. if anything we would jerk troll them every now and then.. i have never seen one caught on the strait retreive. Not to say that it dont happen but they always seem to smash it on the pause

You could troll them like jerk baits over the edge of weed beds... right on the drop off where the weeds meet deep water.

This would NOT be a put the rod in the rod holder and have a beer type trolling. You would pump the rod work the lure while you troll them.

Good luck.

Use a rod that allows a good hookset since you'll be trolling slow, and don't stop the boat right away when you get bit, two mistakes I made my first few times trolling the dawgs.
