Sbft's will often take on a slower troll, if you are getting crashed and not hooking up try dropping her into neutral as soon as you know the fish is not on, count to 10 and slip her in gear again, this makes them nutz sometimes and if your towing a bird and GM and the same thing happens, grab the line and work it by hand, haul in ten to 15 feet of line, while under way of course, then let it all drop back, that creates a pause then the rig sunddenly snaps back and darts ahead, repeat this several times, it works.
