Yes and the most successful method I used last year for the pollack. You cover a lot of ground at a speed the pollack seem to like.  Have a search for "paravane" and you'll find a few comments that may be of interest mate.  Chris |

Hi Carl, Sorry, only just noticed your post.  I favour a 7ft stiffish road with a multiplier loaded with braid. Braid has it's obviouls advantages but can also be marked to show you how much line to let out. I believe you can buy braid that has coloured sections every so many feet to help. Having said this a multiplier with a counter would be even better. The line it tied to your paravane usually via a snap swivel. You then need to tie a leader (Mono or flouro) Say 6ft or so to your lure. That's it really. No need to weights to get your lure down. Depending on the paravane there are various depth settings but you will need to experiment with amount of line you pay out. Chris |
