i agree with mikecc i rarely troll anything less than 25# test. I use a homemade downrigger out of a window sash weight and a downrigger release clip on the bottom of the sash. I let the lure out and when I think there is enough line out i attach the line to the release clip and lower the weight down to the desired depth with thin rope to cut down on drag. when the fish hits, the release clip lets go and your fish is on and all you have to do is pull up the weight. just another alternative for you fishsmith.
