==== Rod trolling ==== Rod trolling is basically a simplified version of [[trolling (fishing)|commercial trolling]] (see [[#Trolling|below]]), with fishing rods functioning as improvised [[outrigger#Fishing|outrigger]]s to tow the baits/lures through the water, usually behind or beside a moving boat with the rod fixated to the [[gunwale]]. It can also be done by very slowly winding the line in (like "finesse"-type lure fishing) or even sweeping the line sideways, with the angler operating the rod from a static position (e.g. atop a jetty, pier or bridge). A variation of trolling is ''drift fishing'', which is usually done from an unpowered boat in faster-flowing waters. The line is not actively reeled, and the bait/lure is allowed to drift and react freely to the turbulences in the water current, much like how a tethered kite would behave in a wind gust.
