Trolling plates

[setterguy]

I would like to add trolling to my ways attack walleye's and pike but with my 115 two stroke, trolling down to a reasonable speed is a challenge. Is there any thing to be concerned about with trolling plates? Do they work? Are they bad for your motor? Right now I can get down to about 2.8-3.3 on the GPS speed...not quite slow enough...any thoughts?

i've read many people post having success in that speed range. you could get yourself a drift sock. that would a be an easy way to slow you down.

Why not use the electric up on the bow?
