A trolling line is a line with one or more baited hooks(or lures) towed behind a boat. The boat may tow many lines, often from outriggers... or a single line hand-tended by a small crew in a dinghy... The lines may be near the surface or some distance below the surface depending on where in the water column the fish aggregate, which can be adjusted by the amount of weight on each line, the length of the line and the towing speed. 3, record 1, English, - trolling%20line

Une ligne de traîne est une ligne à laquelle sont fixés un ou plusieurs hameçons appâtés (ou leurres) et qui est remorquée par un bateau. Le bateau peut tracter de nombreuses lignes, souvent à l'aide de tangons [...] ou une seule ligne tendue à la main par un petit équipage dans un canot pneumatique [...] Les lignes peuvent être mouillées près de la surface ou à une certaine profondeur, en fonction de l'endroit de la colonne d'eau où se trouvent les poissons. Cela peut être ajusté par la quantité de lests disposés sur chaque ligne, la longueur des lignes et la vitesse de remorquage. 4, record 1, French, - ligne%20de%20tra%C3%AEne
