While its important to know where temp is, that doesnt mean you always have to fish it. Active fish can be anywhere in the water column.. More times then not, targeting the active fish on the graph, rather then the preferred temp will put more fish in the boat. Not temp, but the ability to duplicate your trolling speed is the number 1 thing that you will gain from having a probe

An Okuma 45 series is too small for 500' of copper (they are a good option for 200-300). An okuma 55 series is even a tough fit for 500' of 45# copper. it can be done but with only about 75-100 of braid backing. (okuma 55 series is good for 250'-450') Anything 500' or more then Okuma Solterra 50 is a better choice. With copper there is no need for a counter. Its designed to be fished with the entire copper segment in the water. If your plan is to fish your copper down the chute at various lengths then you can mark every 50 or 100' (i use spray white paint). Then the length can be duplicated every time. Counters on copper reels can aid in duplication but will not give you and accurate measurement of whats really in the water.

Any Okuma 30 series line counter reel will work. If you are looking for an "entry level" reel then i would suggest the Okuma Convector CV-30D. The Magna pro series is ok for an entry level downrigger reel but for wire divers you will be glad you spent the extra money on the convectors. 1000' of 30# ss wire will easily fit on the reel but i would suggest 100' of 30# mono backing to to ensure the reel is 100% full.

Otters work great right out of the box. Double keels are not needed to pull copper. They do make otters pull harder but they are not necessary. Braid is best option for planer board line that ive found. Its crazy expensive and the sun beats it up but noone can argue its performance. No stretch, no water absorption, and releases slide with ease.

You can get numerous seasons from a good quality wire. Its made from stainless steel so it will hold up to a lot. my reels are spooled up with 1000'. Really the only time I replace wire because I have 650' or less on the reel. (Which will happen eventually from cutting back and retying.) This little of line on the reel will make the counter inaccurate and of course leaves you less line for fish to take. Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

My big boards are in the water from flatlining Spring Browns in shallow water to summer copper fishing KIngs to plug fishing Kings in the fall off the pier heads. Big boards are the way to go when pulling multiple mono flatlines When one of those lines releases you can simply slide the others down in its place. Assuming all the lines are the same you will have minimal tangles. The idea of doing the same thing with multiple coppers or leadcores just isnt a good idea. You would have to reel in lines to reset a side and this is the dilemma with using big boards with this setup. If your plan is to run multiple coppers per side then Ideally small boards are the way to go. Church TX22 for short coppers and TX44 for long coppers are great choices for that.
