I ran pink ladies for many years just found that once it gets hit or lure gets a snag etc setting the pink lady goes to what I call neutral to reel in easily.
Now some can reset easily by going slack then it sets itself in theory and generally speaking I like to check things after a strike or snag to ensure the gear is good to go.
I changed to the deep six number two to get down to about 70fow or less depending on amount of line out and trolling speed. Play with the tension to get the locking mechanism dialled in and you’re good to go.
I also got the dipsy diver which I like too as you can set them up to be behind the boat but off to the side more.
90 percent of the time I run the deep six but will change it up to adjust to depth and species targeted.
Can’t hurt to have a few alternatives in the boat at all times.
Yesterday the lakers were very selective on what they wanted and after many kilometres covered I settled on apex trolling lure 4” slow troll in brown trout color which was the ticket trolled behind a willow leaf and deep six #2.
Found suspended bait balls in 130 fow and just trolled in and around them picking off lakers some that I marked and some not.
