Nice to chat with you again. I don't know my exact speed as I do not use a fish finder when fishing for trout. I troll at speed 1 on my Minn Kota motor. The speed should not affect the performance of the spoon. The fish dictate what speed you need to be at. To be most effective using the God's Tooth spoons I highly recommend the following and should you practice these concepts, you should catch fish exceeding your expectations!
1. Need to purchase all 12 of the patterns
2. Do not spend more than 5 minutes using a pattern
3. Use a dual clip (snap) to attach the God's tooth split ring which enables quick change outs
4. Use 4lb or 6lb fluorocarbon leader about 4' long and attached to a swivel.
5. Every so often stop the boat and cast and retrieve with a little twitching. Cast in all directions.
6. Change boat direction quickly on occasion and be aware of making turns as that is when fish like to strike the spoon.
7. If getting no action after 4 spoons have been tried then either try the same 1 of 4 but reverse the action, or try a new pattern with the action reversed. Also at that time, either speed up or slow down your troll and see how the fish respond.
8. Keep working until you have went through all 12 patterns and reversed each pattern. In other words, you have 24 options of presentation to the fish. Hope this helps in your success:)
