Troll them 1.8 or slower at the ball within 5' of the bottom and you will be in lake trout all day.  5-15' leads off the ball.  Any longer, they will grab zebras and quaggas.

Low and slow. It is the least complicated fishing ever. And gambler rigs work so so well

Good summary Run behind Hammerhead cowbells as close to bottom as possible, speed at about 1.5- 1.8 or so. Watch your rod tips as they should "pulsate rhythmically, adjust line(s) along with bottom contours to  maintain closeness to bottom....BOOM! reel them in Buy more Hammerhead cowbells and Gambler Rigs of different colors to experiment as they work so well

I have used similar with great success. I have often wondered why Salmon do not find them irresistible like Lakers???

What's the shallowest you'd run them? Do they work in the spring in shallow or more of summer tactic?

I have found they do not work that good once you get shallower than 50’.

Is there an ideal temp for using cowbells?

[GAMBLER]

Less than 48 degrees. Most of the Lakers I find are in 39-44 degrees water.

So find where that water temp intersects bottom?

I’ve caught lakers with cowbells in about 40 fow. Usually 65-120 though

Past where the thermal one intersects to bottom. You will find smaller Lakers just past the intersection and bigger ones out past it and deeper.
