When trolling, the Angler can "lift" a fish behind the Boat using hookless lures. Once the fish is behind him, the Angler releases a natural bait (bonito, mackerel) to try to catch it. Bait & Switch is a very exciting way of fishing for marlin.
You usually use the same equipment used for trolling marlin (Shimano Tiagra 80lb or 130lb reels). But the most important thing is to have fresh bait:
"For marlin fishing with the B&S technique it is very important to have the bait, which can be bonito, mackerel or small tuna, as fresh as possible and well rigged, with the circle hook in place. Starting from the moment the crew sings the marlin at the stern, the bait must be cast immediately and wait patiently for the bite. For me, it is the most impressive moment I have experienced in my 35 years of fishing" Pedro Betancor, skipper of the Fish On in Pasito Blanco, Gran Canaria.

Fly fishing is a fishing technique that uses artificial bait called a fly that has little or no weight. The fly is cast using a rod, fly reel and line with special thickness and weight characteristics. Fly fishing requires practice because the technique is different from other casting techniques. The lure - the fly - imitates all types of invertebrates or small fish.

Trolling is a fishing technique in which one or more fishing gear is dragged behind the boat. Trolling is practiced both in the lake and in the sea, fishing with artificial lures or natural bait. The speed at which trolling is done depends on the species to be fished and also on the type of bait being used.
Trolling with live bait is usually done at low speeds. Fishing for tuna or marlin is usually done with artificial lures at 6 - 10 knots. Coastal Species such as dentex or sea bass prefer speeds of less than 4 knots.
