Trolling fishing involves dragging the baits behind the boat. A tried and tested method that covers a lot of water and various depths. The range in trolling fishing can be vast. It could be one rod and one bait behind a simple rowboat. Or 10-12 rods fished on downriggers and side planers from a top-equipped trolling boat in the million class. In principle, one can troll fish for all kinds of predatory fish, but primarily it involves salmon, trout, char, pike, and zander.
Dragging a couple of wobblers behind the boat in a smaller lake does not require any special equipment - possibly just a couple of rod holders and a simple fish finder. But if it concerns larger waters, then significantly more equipment is required. Special rods and reels, downriggers, side planers, trolling mast, rod holders, as well as fish finders and plotters are examples of gadgets included in the modern trolling fisherman's arsenal.

Length of lure (grouping) Indicates the range within which the lure’s length falls.
Fishing depth (grouping)
Hook size (multi)
Hook size is denoted by a number. The higher the number, the smaller the hook. Size 30 is a tiny hook, 4 is significantly larger. If there’s a zero after, e.g., 2/0, it’s even bigger. The higher the number before the zero, the larger the hook. We have a range from the smallest hook, size 30, to our largest, 18/0.

Weight group
Here, we’ve chosen to divide the lures into different weight groups, just as we’ve categorized rods into casting weight groups, to make it easier for you in this jungle.
Ultra-light includes the very lightest lures, often weighing just a few grams.
Light includes many of the lures used for perch fishing with smaller soft baits, small crankbaits, and spinners.
Light - Medium and Medium contain most common lures in the mid-weight class - spoons, crankbaits, spinners, and other lures intended for everything from sea trout to lighter pike fishing.
Heavy is a common measure for pike fishing.
Extra heavy and Super heavy include lures for, e.g., saltwater fishing and heavier pike fishing.
Fish species
Here, we’ve categorized the products based on which fish you want to hook. We’ve relied on what manufacturers specify, but also on experience of what usually works. The list could almost be endless, and many things work for more species than we’ve listed, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
Trolling Fishing – Effective and Exciting Fishing on the Move
Trolling is a popular fishing method where lures are dragged behind a moving boat to target predatory fish such as salmon, trout, pike, and zander. This technique allows anglers to cover large areas of water, increasing the chances of finding actively feeding fish.
Successful trolling requires specialized equipment, including trolling rods, sturdy reels, and downriggers or paravanes to control lure depth. Choosing the right speed and lure presentation is crucial, as different species respond to varying speeds and depths.
The best trolling spots are often deep lakes, large rivers, or coastal waters where fish hunt in open water. Trolling is especially effective during seasonal fish migrations when predators actively follow baitfish schools.
Whether using artificial lures, wobblers, or live bait rigs, adapting to water temperature, depth, and weather conditions is key. Modern sonar and GPS technology help anglers locate fish and optimize trolling patterns for maximum success.
Trolling is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced anglers seeking big catches. With the right setup and patience, this method can yield trophy fish and unforgettable fishing experiences.
