Eric - a 23 SC and a JC? Nice taste in boats [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Brad - interesting thought as to how your baits will work but bass like slow trolling 1.3-3 knts - usually the slower and we fish structure so a casuall 8kts troll in 300 ft of water is a little different [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] ...
Here is a pic showing some of the wooden lures made by guys from my bass site. Most of these are intended to be fished from shore but can also easlit be trolled shallow or deep (for us 35 feet is deep).

and some more pics here:

How deep can you get your stuff with wire or lead core line? I think they could kick some ass in some places if they can get deep enough and be actively jigged...
