Brittain Shak introduces the importance of outriggers in trolling to maximize bait spread. He explains how to set up outriggers to cover a wide area of the water column, which increases the chances of catching fish. By using outriggers, anglers can spread their bait 10 to 25 feet on each side of the boat, potentially covering 30 to 40 feet outside the boat's width. This technique is particularly effective when fish are in tight schools, as it increases the likelihood of getting multiple bites. The video concludes with a hope that viewers find success using these fishing tips.
