Running The Sledge

The Sledge is very buoyant.   Fast pulls or jerks will tend to make the lure run shallow. A slow to medium jerk will allow the lure to run deeper. When jerking the bait it has a very distinct nose dive action.  The best results achieved for lure action & hook setting power have been with a medium to heavy Jerk Bait Rod.

The weighted versions can be worked to a depth of 5 ft by casting and jerking.  The unweighted version runs to a depth of 1-3 ft.  With a constant reeling and pumping action of the rod you will give this bait an aggressive chop style action with a zigzag dying fish presentation.

With high speed trolling the Sledge has a left to right sweeping motion. The Sledge can be trolled anywhere from 3 mph up to 8 mph and has delivered GREAT results!

Back wash trolling has also been very popular with this bait. Smaller Diameter line will also help the lure run deeper.
