Reducing Blowback

[James Schruba]

Currently running 12lb round balls on the riggers.  Want to try the dredge/fish shape or the torpedoes. 
Which do u guys think  perform better in reducing blowbk. 
Going to stick w the 12lb weight limit. 
 

Figured there are enough experienced trollers here to perform a educated decision 

 

Thanks.

the dredge is the best I've used. I was using b13# pancake weights but had to use 8# dredge weights on one trip and had less blowback than the 13# pancake weights. I bought a set of 10# dredge weights but haven't used them yet.

Fish shaped (as the fins help) first.  Torpedoes 2nd.

Sharks and torpedos work great

Like Rob mentioned torpedo's or sharks.

 

We run these torpedo's, and they track as good as anything I've used.
