Looking to pick up some deep diving plugs to troll behind the jetski out front next fall for bass, and was wondering what you guys who troll recommend?
BRAND, COLOR, SIZE? Since I will be fishing off the jetski I will not be putting out umbrella rigs. Thanks in advance for your replys.

Mann's Strech 25 is probably the most used. The colors are many but chartruse, silver and blue, black back are some good ones. Good luck
mans stretch 25

chartruse & grey ghost color hands down.
why not 9er's , they out fish the stretchs 3 to 1 . That low to the water it should be easy enough to deploy . If stretches , our best this fall was a 30 in black/silver
I second the 9er's. Caught more on them than the stretches.
Mullet stretch 25 magnum all day long!
chartruse & grey ghost color hands down.
Those are my two favorites.

Can't get the Grey Ghost anymore though :mad:
Stretch 25's 30's and.
Bunker imitation
Silver
Or green.
Thanks guys for the replies, gonna pick up some stretches, and Daplumbler you convinced me to try an umbrella rig.
I didn't say anything about umbrellas because of the weight. They are pretty heavy to pull behind a paddle boat.:D How strong are you anyway?

At 900lb and 160hp with a top speed of 64 mph and my fat self at 240 & 6'1", I think maybe we could handle a small umbrella.:huh:
stretch 25's blue and green worked well for us...

Sorry man I thought you were in a kayak. The picture was small and when I made it bigger I saw it was a jet ski. Sorry I should wear my glasses.

thought you were just breakin my stones and I was cool with that. I live for fun and goofin off, the world is to serious today. so no need to apologize.

If 9ers, what are your most productive type / color?
Nice ride

I love that rig of yours. I believe I saw it on this board before but each time I see it I love it more. The only thing is it brings a tear to my eye when I think about how far your going on a gal. of gas compared to me. "O" yeah and on the topic, I think streachs would be best. Umbrellas can be a pain in the a** even on a boat. You get 2,3 or even 4 fish hooked up and things get hectic for 1 guy to handle.
Spring

Also why wait till Fall. I.M.O. Spring run is as good and the fish are bigger, least thats the way its been for Me the last couple of years.
