Trolling for Kings?

Do you think this would work for Kings?

They work for shallow water stripers.

Here is what they are.

Looks like a poor man's outrigger. I don't doubt they'd work to get more baits into the water. Just be careful, because when the kings fire up, you might have too many fish on for the number of people you have to fight them.

Hi Boboe,
you are right!
If they are swarming you only need one rod and having anything on the line other then bait is just silly but then having baits spread out when they aren't going crazy will increase your chances nicely.

the only thing would they work with waves and rough seas. because its flat calm there.so you have to consider that

Breakers could flip them but not waves.
You can put a Bulldog paper clip on one keel and they will not flip no matter what you do.
There are many sizes of bulldog clips to fit all sizes of BulletBobbers.
The wires are easy to remove once you clamp them on!
