the "troller's bible" 7 edition

In hopes of catching walleyes etc, I decided to find out about trolling. The recommended book is "Precision Trolling" by Dr. Stephen Hold, Mark Romanack, and Tom Irwin. I ordered a brand new one from a used book service online, www.abebooks.com and it arrived today.

It came in a thick zip lock bag, and I thought, "gee, they really expect you to protect this on the boat! Imagine my even greater surprise, when I found that the book pages & cover are.......all made of waterproof plastic! That's a big plus for taking a book on a boat. Well, I gotta run, but more soon on this serious book.

If you use lighter thinner lb test like 6lb line when trolling and targetting walleye at deeper depths, those lures will go deeper and with less line out. When pulling anything threw water there is resistance the thicker and heavier the line causes more resistance and is thus harder to pull threw the water with a lure attached to it. I am not a super walleye fisherman so if Ken and Don and some of the other walleye guys can back me up here, I think 6lb test is fine for walleye here in Colorado.

Precision Trolling is a great book, I highly recommend it! It gives you the benefit of knowing exactly what depth your baits are running

Isnt this information on the lure box? I havent bought any crankbait in a while but the ones I do have are in my tackle box with the tab from the box on it that says the depths and recommended line.
