How fast do you troll these? Also most popular colors?
Asked 3 ´years ago | Torpedo Lures > Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The Fathom Offshore Jimmy Rig is intended for Ballyhoo, so its limited to the durability and longevity of the dead bait. We typically recommend trolling these in the 6-9knt range. The lure itself can be trolled faster, however the ballyhoo attached may be more inclined to wash out the faster you go.
What is the trolling speed for this dredge? How much weight to keep it under the water?
Asked 3 ´years ago | Single Tier SR20 Blue Silver fleck 32" Dredge
Answer:
This teaser squid dredge is perfect for dead bait and light lure trolling speeds of 5-7knts. At this speed, a 6lb fish will keep it in the water, if your working with hand lines or smaller dredge gear, you could get away with a 4lb weight at the slower speeds. You can view our coated dredge fish weights here: https://www.fathomoffshore.com/collec...
Answer:
For cable fishing leaders, we generally use about 3' of 480lb stainless steel cable. Its available in 30' coils with crimps. https://www.fathomoffshore.com/produc...

do you have to troll these with weights or can you troll them on the surface
Asked 3 ´years ago | Torpedo Lures > Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The Torpedo is extremely versatile. You can run it on the surface, or you can run it subsurface with a trolling lead or down planer. The difference is the speed between the Jimmy Rig and the Torpedo Lantern, both can be run up or down, but the Jimmy Rig is rigged for ballyhoo so you typically want to run it slower so the bait wont wash out.

Do you run in line lead on the SR71? Or is it heavy enough without lead? trolling 18-20kt
Asked 3 ´years ago | SR71 Stainless Extra Large 16" Trolling Lure
Answer:
The SR71 weighs in at a solid 32oz. We recommend using it as a surface lure. The concave and jets are designed to occasionally breach the surface, then re-enter and expel its bubble trail. The faster you go (especially in that 20knt range) you will need to put the lure further back in the spread or start to add lead and shock leader as needed.
Do you typically run the spreader bars on the riggers or flats?
Asked 3 ´years ago | Pre-Rigged 36" ST40-207 Squid Spreader Bar
Answer:
Spreader bars can be run in either position. Some boats will run spreader bars on every position. However, most people run a spreader bar from a flat line when pulling lures in other locations. Play around with location and see where you personally are getting the best results. No hard and fast rules when it comes to this, we've had success anywhere from a flat line, to the shotgun.

For the waters of the Cape Fear Region of NC & associated Gulf Stream, what color dredge do you suggest?
Asked 3 ´years ago | Single Tier SR20 Green Silver fleck 32" Dredge
Answer:
Great question: if your looking to use this dredge specifically for Mahi, I would recommend the Green. While Mahi will come to other dredge colors, we go back to the schooling mentality of a Mahi. They typically hunt and swim in schools, which is why people will often leave a dolphin on the line when chunking, it keeps the other dolphin close. Same with a Mahi colored dredge. Pink has always been a solid producer for us as well, as it mimics a natural squid color, a food of choice for dolphin and most other pelagics.
Can you give instructions for securing a ballyhoo on this rig? I have 3 I purchased. Ballyhoo don't stay on
Asked 3 ´years ago | Torpedo Lures > Jimmy Rig - Cable Ballyhoo Rigged Torpedo
Answer:
The method of securing the ballyhoo on this rig is the same as the standard mono version shown in our tutorial. CLICK HERE to watch the video. Also, be sure that the bait isn't simply washing out and deteriorating from prolonged trolling or high speeds. If done correctly the ballyhoo will be well secured and will not come off. Feel free to call 910-399-6882 and we can discuss further.
