Speed

most of my science regarding speed has to do with wind. "typically" I just go with the drift...if I'm booking, I drop a wind sock. If I bust out the trolling motor on calm days or agaisnt the wind, I'm just barely moving. This is my standard approach for jigging and lindy riggin...not much for trolling raps.

I move slow when jigging, .1 - .3 mph. Faster than that and I'm dragging the jig which invites snags and missed fish.

If able to move faster (depending on bottom and fish's mood) then I switch to Lindy rigs and move .3 - 1 mph. If they are aggressive enough for a spinner then I'll add a bottom bouncer and step it up to 1 - 2.5 mph.

If I'm going 2.5+ then I'm dragging cranks with or without lead.
