"Backtrolling" is a term used around the Great Lakes region to describe trolling in reverse. It is used to present your trolled bait/lure at a slower speed than can be obtained by trolling forward. It's usually used for Walleyes and Perch because they do not like to chase a meal down very far or fast.

Since most of these type of fishing boats are open, maybe that's where the name came from.
