Are you doing fresh-water trolling? Then you are probably using the standard glass fiber fishing gear. This is optimal for this type of fishing, since it is proven to be both lightweight and durable.

If you have the standard type of reel, fully loaded with bait-casting line, it is OK for most uses with the exception of deep trolling.

As in other forms of fishing, small, light lures require light tackle. Medium-size lures call for medium tackle, and heavy lures for heavy tackle. Medium and medium-heavy action spinning outfits can also be used for most freshwater trolling. Heavy fly tackle can also be used in trolling for landlocked salmon and large rainbow and brook trout.
