What is the trolling speed for this dredge? How much weight to keep it under the water?
Asked 4 ´years ago | Single Tier SR20 Blue Silver fleck 32" Dredge
Answer:
This teaser squid dredge is perfect for dead bait and light lure trolling speeds of 5-7knts. At this speed, a 6lb fish will keep it in the water, if your working with hand lines or smaller dredge gear, you could get away with a 4lb weight at the slower speeds. You can view our coated dredge fish weights here: https://www.fathomoffshore.com/collec...
How fast do you troll these? Also most popular colors?
Asked 4 ´years ago | Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The Fathom Offshore Jimmy Rig is intended for Ballyhoo, so its limited to the durability and longevity of the dead bait. We typically recommend trolling these in the 6-9knt range. The lure itself can be trolled faster, however the ballyhoo attached may be more inclined to wash out the faster you go.
Answer:
The rigging pad is approx 1/8" thick.

Asked 4 ´years ago | Mo Head Chuggers > Mo Head Chugger Small 7" Trolling Lure

How flexible are these? I would like to use a double sided tape or other adhesive to mount these in my gunnel storage.
Asked 4 ´years ago | 12" x 27" Rigging | Reel Pad
Answer:
While the rigging pad may work for this application, it's primarily designed for temporary protection of high end finishes. The material is very similar to a mouse pad in thickness and construction; however the rigging pad has a tighter weave and more of a satin finish for easy cleaning. See below image.
Where would you recommend trolling this in a spread without outriggers? I only have rod outriggers.
Asked 4 ´years ago | Mini Skirt Chain

Answer:
Our circle hook dink bait rigs are primarily used for trolling and pitching ballyhoo for Sailfish and White Marlin.
Answer:
The total weight of the brass head Torpedo and stainless steel Ballyhoo hook rig is 6oz.

These Torpedo lanterns are super versatile. You can pull them on the surface by attaching them directly to your mainline. They can also be pulled sub surface on a trolling lead and shock leader setup, or even on a planer depending on speed.To watch a short video on the torpedo and its various rigging configurations, check out this YouTube video HERE.
Can I get the game changer rigged for ballyhoo ?
Asked 4 ´years ago | CUSTOM COLOR Game Changer Small 7" Trolling Lure

Do you run in line lead on the SR71? Or is it heavy enough without lead? trolling 18-20kt
Asked 4 ´years ago | SR71 Stainless Extra Large 16" Trolling Lure
Answer:
The SR71 weighs in at a solid 32oz. We recommend using it as a surface lure. The concave and jets are designed to occasionally breach the surface, then re-enter and expel its bubble trail. The faster you go (especially in that 20knt range) you will need to put the lure further back in the spread or start to add lead and shock leader as needed.

Can you give instructions for securing a ballyhoo on this rig? I have 3 I purchased. Ballyhoo don't stay on
Asked 5 ´years ago | Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The method of securing the ballyhoo on this rig is the same as the standard mono version shown in our tutorial. CLICK HERE to watch the video. Also, be sure that the bait isn't simply washing out and deteriorating from prolonged trolling or high speeds. If done correctly the ballyhoo will be well secured and will not come off. Feel free to call 910-399-6882 and we can discuss further.
Answer:
All of our ballyhoo rigs are pre-rigged on 100# mono. The only rig currently made with fluorocarbon is our Dink Bait Circle Hook rigs. They are rigged on 50 and 60# Diamond Fluorocarbon leader.
