Finders Keepers

I am looking to replace my rigger cables this spring and was wondering what everyone would recommend? I remember seeing a new kind of cable a year or two ago that was supposed to have smaller swing back, but I don't recall where I saw it or what it was. I also wonder, assuming it has a smaller diameter, if the fleas could become a problem on smaller diameter wire. Well, if this currnet weather pattern continues we will be on the water as soon as the channels are clear!!

1 pair of icefishing socks w/ a pouch in the toe-section for a warming pad $75 in giftcards for Bass Pro, which equalled: -(2) Dipsy Divers -(1) 8" Green Snubber -(3) Flies -(4) Stinger Spoons -(1) Pack Ladderbacks -(2) NK Superglo Spoons -(1) Night Stalker LED Light -(2) Jr. T-sticks Madflash Stickbaits -(1) Rapala X-Rap Stickbait (Ok, so I went over the $75 by a little! ) $25 Giftcard for Dicks Del Mar Windmaster wristwatch that can also measure winds up to 130 mph. So when the waves are breaking over the bow, at least I will be able to tell how strong the winds are pushing those waves!! Have a great holiday everyone and see ya on the water in a few months!!

Thank you for the info fellas!! I think I have a handle on setting them up now. Maybe if this weather pattern holds through the next couple months we may have an early spring!!

Ok, looks like I will be getting the Tekota's (600LC) for reels to match my blue diamond rods. Now my next set of questions: 1. How much wire should I put on each reel? 2. I have heard people using a "backing". What is it, what should I use, and how does one make a backing? 3. What knot should I use to tie the wire? 4. How often does the wire need to be replaced? Thank you in advance for your responses! I can't wait to get these set up and in the water this spring!!

I recently snagged a new pair of Okuma blue diamond 10' wire rods and now I'm looking to match them with some reels and wire. Just wondering what everyone's suggestions are for reels and wire. Before "the incident" and all our discussions got wiped out, there was a post with info on wire that cost $.03/ft. I would like to get that website/link again. Thanx! Only 3.5-4 months to go.... Tim.
