I know a few guys who fish the Great Lakes still run them. My understanding is they run them at slow speed and are if they are not paying attention, they can check back for bait clouds a few minutes later and swing back.
This was a few years ago, but the guys I knew said it was the cats meow
-------------------- I would rather be sittting in the boat thinking of God, then sitting in church thinking about fishing.
Was working when I put it in the closet ten years ago. Can't find any of the paper rolls. Was hoping some one that lived up here near Forest Lake might want it. Don't think it would be worth the shipping.
