Hey, We just got a couple smaller cumberland umbrella rigs for hybrids, the 5 bait ones with 1/4oz jigs w/ spinners, I was wondering how you troll these, we usually only have to fish 15-20ft deep, we have downrigger, would it work okay on them, and how far would the rig drop below that ball?
Thanks In advance,
Nate
depends on the speed sometimes. I'd start with 10 ft, with an 8lb ball.
We usually troll around 4mph.
Don't need a ball just let out the line and it will sink great on its own. BRAID is a must mono will stretch and eventually brake under the strain.
Thats a good summer speed, they should run about 3 ft deeper than the ball. The braid is the way to go, 20/6 stealth would be a good bet.
