Im using 36' of 20# fluorocarbon on anything 200' or shorter... over 250' or more Im using 36' of 30# fluoro

So many different ways to answer this... 1. My best rigs year after year are short coppers. 50', 100',150' 2. If the question is what is you best long coppers (250' or more) than last year it would have been a 350' copper. 3. If you are a first time buyer and looking to make a purchase than I would no doubt suggest a 300' and probably a 400'. Sent from my XT1585 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Cold Water Reels

I would suggest a 45 series -
Come on, you cant post the picture on here... lol I disagree about the additional keel. For typical use they are not needed as long as your knot configuration is good. He is wimping out and not ever fishing copper! Stock boards pull well right out of the box. The extra keel does help in rough water.

I tie my own flies and make my own meat rigs. I do the same thing and cut down flies for teasers also. It is just more convenient then carrying a second stash of flies. I also loop the line through beads. Only one time did I ever have an issue. Line broke and it was caused from a sharp edge on the bead. Some guys use bead chains on the tag end and some dont. I do like the idea of tying one in just above your meat head so when you do need to retie then you just need to retie that small section. It sounds like a great idea but I will honestly never do it. It would certainly save me some money on fluorocarbon! But really bead chains certainly are not needed. I don't use them and don't plan to use them. I terminate my rigs with a simple surgeons loop (same as my flies) and it is very rare that I ever experience line twist.

Cheaters suck! I guess I will be the one to ask... why? We need the story!

Ive used it and its ok. PLine makes decent products. The thing to remember about floroclear is it is a fluoro coated product. It is far from a 100% fluoro leader material. You would be better off spooling with quality mono and leadering up with short piece of quality fluoro.

Check out Okuma Blue Diamond 8'6" downrigger rod model# bd-c-862mla. IMO they are a bit light for salmon fishing but I like them for everything else.

I dont think he wanted to hijack your thread. Weighted steel is advertised that way but there is no evidence that proves it to be true. Guys that I have spoke to say no way it has the same dive curve as 45# copper and that its dive curve is similar to 32# copper. I always hear the words "copper replacement" but in reality its something different, like leadcore. They are all sinking line presentations but each is very different.
