GAMBLER

I have two Daiwa Heartland 8'6" (green blanks) tip sections that someone can have for free if they need them. Both butt sections are broken and in the trash. Pick up only I will not ship.

If the counter did not get reset before deploying the diver, you could have had a lot more line out than the counter was showing. Sharp turns will also cause inside divers to sink fast.

Down to 1.7-1.8. Dreamweavers and nk's have very little action if any at all at that speed. The paint does suck but they are more speed tolerant. Look at the LOC leaderboard and see what Tom Allen is using. Stingers.......

Dreamweavers are nice but you can not get good action out of them at slow speeds. They are a heavier blank.

Why would you use a snubber with 50lb? I don't use them with 30lb and never had a break off.

Thanks for the kind words Bill. 3 to 1 with the ball is what we used in Erie last summer to fish perch in 75 fow. It was a two foot chop both days and it held fine. Chain on the anchor is key.

Don't worry Pete, not many people fish that water off Sandy. Fishing lakers is a sin to most. I get sh*t for doing it all the time.

I run the Stingers, Stingrays and Mags for browns. Some days they want stingers, some days they want stingrays and every once and a while they hit mags.

I have done it into mid October with good success. I have not done it in years but it should still be good. Some of my best steelhead days came in late September and early October,

In September, the offshore bite for Steelhead and next years kings can be unreal. I would much rather run offshore without the BS of combat fishing and catch more fish.

What model?

I found them at Overtons. Thanks Broadhorizons!

Looking for a new or used Daiwa Heartland 8'6" medium action rigger rod in the green blank. If anyone knows of a tackle shop that still has one that would work too.

There was a small break in 440 and another in 480 that were holding fish this morning Bill. 35-80 down we took kings and steelhead.

There is a big break there. The thermalcline jumps from 60 down to 35 down in a short span. Tons of bait from 40-150 down.

We fished the same are as Dan and did some nice kings, and a couple steelhead. I had a scare when I put the rigger down 80' and was rigging the free slider. I felt the rigger release and had to scramble to get the rod in my hand before it got yanked overboard. We ended up dumping that fish after a 480' run. We took fish 40-80 down. After the kings slowed, we tucked inside and did some good lakers up to 18.02. All were released to fight another day.

You have to go into the settings menu and select it.
