Trolling sinkers are made for trolling. The heavier weight helps your lure stay down deeper while the boat is moving. The trolling sinkers are setup so you can tie your main line to the swivel in front of the sinker and tie the line for your lure or bait to the swivel behind the sinker.

Cut Plug Herring is a very popular bait rig among salmon anglers. The preferred method is to troll the herring with a 2 hook setup so the herring will spiral over and over. This imitates a wounded bait fish and it drives salmon crazy.
The dodger and fly is one of the best ways to target salmon and trout when trolling. Anglers throughout the Great Lakes will target salmon and trout every year with the dodger and fly. The dodger creates quite a disturbance in the water and the flash of the dodger helps draw salmon and trout in for a closer look. Once fish move in to take a better look, they will see the fly and often strike your bait. Shop Trolling Lures for Salmon & Trout: @ Cabela’s
