Only ever done snooking behind the boat with leaded lines. Am now informed that method is old fashioned and you use beaked lures??. Can someone please inform as to what I should be using in 40 foot of water. How far behind the boat do you use them? Speed the same?

my grandfather gave me the leaded line set up. ive never used it as i dont know how. im a fan off trawling in 6mtrs of water with daiwa double clutches or rapala x factors nice and slow one just off the wash and one just in. works well.

When crossing the gulf I always drag a paravane at around 6 to 7 nts with good results, most of that trip is around the fourty to fifty ft mark.Im old fashioned so prefer the paravane but I have tried large deep divers in pilchard patterns with some success.Basicly if its not in that bottom 15 ft they don't seem to get hit,

I still use the leaded lines. One with a "snook lure" & the other with a sliver of fish on 3 x ganged hooks. If one doesn't work the other usually does. I do however use bibbed lures when anchored particularly when there are alot of garfish behind the boat. My go to lures are a Yozuri Crystal Minnow 90mm (sinking) & a Duel Aile Magnet 90mm (floating).
