[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 490676, member: 22613"] Depends mostly on the lure, species, and time of year. Many crankbaits can't be trolled much over 3mph or they'll blow out. If I'm pulling cranks I will usually run 1.5-2.5mph, slower in the cooler months and faster in the summer. Crawler harness are pulled much slower, .8-1.5 generally. You can go slower with butterfly spinners. Guys up north may pull bucktails and spoons a little faster than that for pike and musky. But other than that I don't think it's very common, aside from saltwater. We snag for spoonbill sometimes at 3-5mph, but not with the trolling motor. [/QUOTE]
