Stagers can be hard to get. They are not feeding. Try to use large bright annoying rattle lures and try to keep them moving near bottom and fast. Shallow floating divers or jplugs on lead or heavy bottom bouncers or 3 way rigs and Kwik fish and dredge thru the marks. It’s a grind with snags and be on the rods in a fraction of a second but if you want them they will bite, and on the good days you will get some matures doing that. If that’s your plan grind them out and if not going by daylight slip out to brown or laker water or head offshore for steel and teens!

Tuffnutz I’ll take them. Pm sent

I'll take them if you take Paypal and will ship

As far as just the long lines are concerned. I'd choose as many different types of length as possible. Some days they just want that one rod. If you find today they want the 300 copper then add snap weights to all the shorter coppers and cores to replicate what works. More different options are what you want to dial in what they want when they are being choosey.

My first guess is Atlantic. My better guess is that everyone on that Yankee boat knows the truth! What is it?

Interested in the 9.5's. where you located?

Let's see the pics! Got a tax check I need to invest wisely!!!

In the days before downriggers and divers there were copper rods like this or trolling boxes like the victrola. If I fished Lakers more I'd have one on the boat just for fun. My grandpa fished like that 80 years ago.
