X2 8 ft long at the most. Unless you want to hand line fish into the net.

X2. What you might want to consider is you want to run the same weights on all your riggers. I always ran 4 or at least had 4 riggers mounted and preferred the torpedo weights from the old Atomic mold. Always ran true, very little blow back and 1/2 the price of sharks. Sharks are the best if you don't mind paying the price. Different blow back and shaped weights will result in problems.

Diver rod weight
spoonfed-1 replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I always ran Shimano Taloras for salmon. The medium weight would land any salmon in the lake. Plenty of backbone and still enjoy the battle. The Talora roller guide rods for wire were a bit stiff but not horrible. Okumas were a much lighter action rod and the same rating between the Taloras and Okuma Blue diamonds was considerable. Good luck. -
Diver rod weight
spoonfed-1 replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
You talking for salmon or trout and what brand of rod are you talking about? Also are you talking roller guides or regular guides with a twili tip? These variables make a big difference. -

So I launched the boat last week and sprayed the rollers up in the parking lot with the WD-40 specialist silicone. Launched again day before yesterday and that boat just slid off those rollers beautiful. Very little effort on my part and very little strain on my bad back. Huge difference and so far so good. Just a matter of seeing how long it lasts now.

I have a bunch of well maintained quality tools for sale as I've retired after 40 yrs in the trade. Tools will be sold for 50% of retail. Everything from mic sets to dial calipers to Hermann Schmidt height gauges to B&S dial indicators. To much to list but if your looking for anything I probably have it.

Always ran Malin coffee color in both 20 and 30 lb. 30 lb is a bit more forgiving when it comes to kinks but seemed to get more bites on the 20 lb.

I've never been a fan of wd-40 but I sprayed this stuff on my garage door rollers and tracks and so far it's awesome. We will have to wait and see how long it lasts but I'm hoping to get the little boat in the water this week so I'll give it a shot. At my age with a bad back that boat required more energy than it should to get the boat off the trailer into the water so I'm hoping it works. Will report back after the application and I launch the the boat again.

Everybodys opinion of fair chase is different, I fished for 35 yrs without riggers or electronics. Just a couple 10 color lead core rods and flat lines. When I found the fish (and I usually did) I stayed on them and kicked the **** out them. Electronics are just a tool to find them faster and get the job done quicker.

Trolling with gas outboard motor question
spoonfed-1 replied to jake8484's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Take any boat your interested in out for a sea trial. If it doesn't do what you want it to look elsewhere. Good luck. -

Thanks guys. I use white grease on a lot of stuff. Because of the limited time I have in the parking lot I will give the wd-40 specialist spray a shot that J.D. posted and see what happens. If I have to do it a few times a season thats OK. Otherwise I'll bite the bullet, jack the boat up off the trailer and take everything apart. Any other ideas are welcome.

I have an old EZ loader roller trailer for my small 16 ft aluminum boat. Question I have is what to use for lubrication between the rubber rollers and shafts. Something that will last awhile and not eat at the rubber rollers. Ideally something I can get in there without pulling each roller and shaft apart as this will be done in a parking lot after I dump the boat in at a launch ramp. Thanks for any ideas.

I've marked salmon many times while laker fishing. I run laker gear that works at 1.8 2.1 mph and when I mark salmon I drop down a couple meat rigs on diver rods. Works for me.
