[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 392904, member: 4251"] Bobberbob gave a lot of good info, but i didn't see any comments on equipment needed. You can use the bass rods you have to troll (probably) but if you like trolling, you'll probably want longer rods and rod holders as holding the rods while pulling cranks for extended times get old in about 60 seconds. The crank baits you have will work since they already catch fish. I can't speak on pulling crawlers/leech set ups, but again, just holding a rod for extended times gets old quick and takes away from the enjoyment of fishing. A gps unit is almost a necessity so you can monitor your speeds as trolling is very dependent on maintaining a certain speed that the fish want on that particular day. The preferred speed can change from the early morning speed to mid day speed to afternoon speed. I troll for crappie, so come over to ET and I will show you a decent set up for trolling. Utube has lots of videos on setting up a boat for trolling, etc., which will help you in your search for info. [/QUOTE]
