What is the ideal weight for trolling Lures is there any chart like weight of lure against speed of the boat?

[@InTheSpread]

Not really. Your lure choices come down to sea conditions, rough or calm. Most good quality trolling lures will swim well, if matched to the sea conditions.

My favorite is the pakula Rat or the sprocket or Mold Craft or the Canyon Runner
