FISHING ACCESSORIES

With rod trees and holders from Traxstech, Dave Mull can fish seven lines per side with enough people aboard.

The Church Walleye Board is Mull’s choice for salmon fishing. Some walleye anglers pair it with a Luhr Jensen Jet Diver and spoon for walleyes.

The top-of-line Cannon Digitroll 10TS can interface with Humminbird sonar/chartplotter units and perform feats such as ‘bottom-tracking’ to keep the downrigger ball at a set distance above the bottom.

Mull has a go-to set of old Shakespeare Wonderods and Daiwa SG47LCA reels for planer boards and downriggers. His go-to diver disk and Torpedo rod is a 10-foot Shimano Talora with a Shimano Tekota 600LC.

Trolling is an effective means of catching everything from crappies to king salmon in the Midwest. The proper trolling gear on a well-equipped boat ups your odds for success.
