Shimano’s new Ledge Runner System may change the way we troll deep diving plugs for offshore pelagics. Traditionally, deep divers stay in the short corners to avoid tangling with other lures. With the Ledge Runner and its patented ADR, you can run up to four deep diving plugs in the spread while keeping things clean and controlled. The ADR lip design lets you quickly shift the tow point to adjust running depth from shallow to deep without tools or re rigging, so you can match your lure depth to the most productive zone. It also features the HCW, which helps the lure track straight and stay stable at higher trolling speeds when other plugs can become erratic.
