How to Set Up an Umbrella Dredge for Trolling. Tips & Techniques to Fish Like the Pros!

Pulling dredges with natural and artificial baits is an extremely effective way to target billfish and many other pelagics. The adrenaline rush that you get when a billfish fires up on a dredge and eats one of your hooked baits trolling close behind is off the charts! In this video, Mike Calabrese, founder of Fire Tailz bait strips, demonstrates the steps that go into building a multi-tier dredge for trolling. Mike has logged thousands of hours fishing dredges all around the word from Mexico to Africa, Australia, the Bahamas and more. His experience with dredge fishing eventually led him to create and develop the ultimate artificial bait to pull from dredges which he properly named 'Fire Tailz'. Enjoy the video and feel free to drop a comment if you have any additional questions about how to rig a dredge. Check out another video in our gallery that we did from this series where we demonstrate how to deploy and fish the dredge from a center console boat.

Are dredges just for pitching or can they be used in a trolling skirt spread?

No dredges are designed for trolling
