Hooper -

First of all, I like the JAWS reference - I was Quint for Halloween this year. The best movie of all time.

Anyway, I'm with you - I've used this rig with moderate success, but not producing anywhere near the numbers I hear others talking about. When I was trying to learn, I went to the On The Water website, and went through the old issues. Any issue that had an article about the T&W, I ordered it. I got 3 or 4 issues, and they had some useful infoamation.

I do most of my trolling in 12 feet or less of water, so your needs may be different. Often, I troll 1 rig with on a lead-core outfit, and one on regular braided line. I haven't noticed one outperforming the other. I use about 8 feet of 50-pound fluorocarbon as a leader.

"America's Cup? I'm not talking about day-sailing or pleasure-boating. I'm talking about working for a living. I'm talking about sharkin'."
