Where in the Spread?
Inner Group Dynamic•High Level Intrusiveness•Attraction is high•Good for Curious Fish
•Good for making turns•Easier Rod Management•Not as equipment diversified•Most understood by GL trollers
Middle Group Dynamic•Somewhat Intrusiveness•Attraction is medium - high•Good for middle range curious fish
•No tight turns, but you can navigate freely•Most difficult Rod Management group•Most equipment diversified•Accounts for more salmon across the lake then any other group•Least understood by old-timer trollers
Outer Group Dynamic•Lowest level of Intrusiveness•Attraction is lowest•Good for spooky fish
•Slow steady turns, poor in boat traffic, limiting navigational options•Not an easy Rod Management spread group•Somewhat diversified in equipment•The least used spread group, but gaining popularity- FAST•Somewhat understood by old-timer trollers, but with a new age twist.
