My wife and I opted to run trolling bags before buying a trolling motor on our new boat. It took a couple times out and some internet forums before figuring it out, but it works so well that I don't think that we will even buy a trolling motor. The two bags slows the troll down to like .8 miles an hour and we just bump the throttle up to the desired speed. If you run two identical bags on both sides of the boat and hook the taglines to the rear cleats, it will effect the steering very little.

Great video, thanks

How much did this show you down? My motor idles in forward at almost 4 mph looking to get into that 2 mph range without installing kicker motor

Do you trouble turning when you do this?

Depends on how large a 1 bag, or set of 2 bags, should work with the right bag.
