Its no secret, trolling a single spreader bar with a few lures placed around it will produce strikes but you need a large bait spread to turn a school, consistantly get multiple hookups and put meat on the deck in short order. This is accomplished by using spreader bars, daisy chains and RDT Sport Dredges. Reel Draggin' Tackle offers complete trolling spread solutions for the price you pay for a single bar at some tackle shops.

Option 1

Don't be intimidated by big spreads. Get to know your boat and crew and you will know when and how you can handle these large spreads. Why bother? Its about presenting as big a bait pattern as possible. These spreads are for the days that you can't buy a bite, you have to pull out all the tricks in the box. One of the biggest disadvantages that the small boater (23 to 32 feet) has is its ability to present a truly large footprint like the big guys. Yellow fin inparticular are drawn to the large fishing boats. They present a large footprint and while they may not have 13 lines out (some will to be sure), they have the ability to cover more area. The typical 46 to 55 foot sport fisherman has 22 foot or larger tripple rigged outriggers and a 14 foot beam. This is a spread that we designed for smaller boats to be able to present a very large bait pattern and compete with thos sport fisherman. While this is a big spread, it can be effectively pulled on boats from 23 to 32 feet. This spread has been pulled many many times with an experenced crew on a Grady White Gulfstream (23 feet long, 9'3" beam). It takes a good crew to manage, but when its out there and you are hunting for tuna, you make a big bait pattern in the water. The trick on smaller boats is to get these spreads in the water when you are on the hunt. Once you find the fish and you are into them, you don't have to put all of the lines back out, shift down to a 7 or 9 line spread consisting of what is being hit the most. Keep those Wahoo in mind they LOVE those deep lines! If they are out there you will need to switch your stingers from mono to wire. Keep the spread tight. This is the standard configuration for Yellow and Long Fin tuna. The Long Riggers are about 6 to 8 wakes back, and everything else keys off them. Keep the spread tight. If the tuna are boat shy, send the Entire SPREAD back, not just one or two lines. Remember, the spread is designed to draw multiple bites, break it up and your likely to get single bites if any at all. It takes the whole spread to draw the attention of an entire school. This is how you get four to six lines down, and it could be your only shot all day. |
