Thank you, Silent, for that dissertation, it has cleared up a lot for me. As far as trolling bags are concerned, I guess they aren't popular in your neck of the woods but they have been used for years by Great Lakes fishermen. My Montauk 17 with the E-TEC 90 will not troll at less than three mph which is too fast for some of the fish I target in Lake Michigan. Here is one video which shows the actual use on a boat. http://youtu.be/9km9WgxyF-k. There is a wealth of information avail on the internet about this method of reducing your speed when trolling if you care to learn.
