What decides skirt length?
Short answer
The target species and the trolling speed, and the two are related. A longer skirt on a heavy head runs at a specific speed; the same skirt on a light head blows out.
In detail
Our own trolling brief carries the skirt-length table, and it is a better guide than a general rule.
