Lakebumb, I don't know what the Pro's like Babbler are doing but we are dragging jigs with the trolling motor and in some cases such as Sat in the Sloan tourney the wind done all the work for us. It is still the same trial by error game with Bass as to how fast they want the bait. We started out dragging with the trollong motor slow and did not do very good.

Then we started dragging by letting the wind pull us down pretty fast and seemed to catch more fish.

Picture it as your wife fishing with you. My wife will sometimes out fish me if I don't keep an eye on her. She will be dragging a jig around behind the boat while I'm really working a bait in a brush pile. The sad part is that she is not even trying but simply dragging a jig to pass time by. A few weeks ago she caught 3 fish totaling 9.5lb dragging a jig behind the boat while I was power fishing spinner baits and crank baits. You would have thought I was moving way too fast.
