Awesome job on this video!! You covered so many granular details. I never thought about bumping up the trolling motor speed to help pick up slack. I think the only thing of significance I do differently are: 1. I use my trolling motor to troll S shapes. Inner lures slow down, outer speeds up to help trigger following strikes. I don't troll in a straight line. For my boat, any trolling in the 3 mph & up, the trolling motor works as a rudder & steers on a calm day without even being on I'll set my speed so the trolling motor is only on a 2, maybe 3 to do the steering. 2. I don't let a random amount of line out, but measure it somewhat. I don't typically have line counter reels so I'll sweep the rod down the side of the boat. "3 sweeps is about X feet" for example as my general guide. That way, if I get a strike, I know how far out I am with all the rods & can get them back out the same length again. It lets the bait run the same presentation over & over when it's working. Really good video!!!
Thanks a lot. Great comments. This is only 8:26 from a 2 hour video. If you want to hear more and get deeper into the thinking on trolling check out inthespread.com/muskie-trolling-techniques-with-cory-allen-539
Interesting tip about using electric up front. Surprised you use those plastic rod holders, been fishing for the big boys since the late 80’s and never trusted them. Hate to loose that fish of a life time due to equipment failure. You sure know your stuff, great video, Cheers from Canada 👍

Thanks. The rod holders have not failed, yet. Fingers 🤞🏼 crossed. Check my full length musky fishing videos on www.inthespread.com
I will. 🙏
Nice video Corey!
Thanks Randy
For deeper waters do you use any weights to get it down there?
No, the lures will get down. You just have to run the right lure to reach the depth you want. Obviously, covering different depths will help.
@@InTheSpread ok thanks!
@riiion7624 you can see a ton more musky fishing videos on our site www.inthespread.com Lots of insights on trolling, lures, baits and techniques.
Do you always run steel leader with those big lures?
It is advisable to use wire.
What rod holders are you using?
