Trolling for Jack - drawn by Duncan, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Trolling for Jack - drawn by Duncan, 1850. In trolling, a rod about fourteen feet long is commonly used, with a stouter top-piece than is employed in fly-fishing, and provided with rings for the line to run through...the bait is cast gently into the water near to where Jack are likely to lie; and the troller, as he draws it towards him, athwart and up stream, should allow it to alternately sink and rise a little. As the Jack does not swallow the bait directly he seizes it, but makes off to some distance to pouch it, he should be allowed line freely. At the end of about eight or ten minutes, when the troller may conceive that the bait has been pouched, let him strike; and if he succeeds in hooking the fish, land his prey in the best manner he can, a matter of no very great difficulty, if his tackle be good, and the water free from stumps and weeds'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
