Slow Trolling is done at speeds between 0.1 and 0.6mph trying to keep the baits as vertical as possible easier to do on calm days for beginners. Preferred method by most winning competitive tournament teams.
Long lining is much faster 0.7 to 2.0 mph baits trailing behind the boat 30 to 50 feet. Long Lining can be done on windier days and you can cover more water in less time.
