    marking line without line counter help

    in Open Lake Discussion

    Posted

    Watching your line guide past isn't an accurate method when you have to let a lot of line out. As the spool gets thinner there's a lot less line going out for each pass of the line guide.
    To give you an idea, when you are almost empty of line only about 1/3 of the length goes out per revolution when compared to when the line is full.


    Measuring the exact amount of line out isn't important. What is important is duplicating it and counting level wind passes does just fine.
    Killed thousands of erie walleyes doing just that for decades.

    E CHIP ADD ON'S????

    I believe there are fly manufacturers putting echips in flies.
    The problem is the lack of available "echip chargers". I found an app for my phone that charges my echips and keeps them working.

    So do most run line specific for fleas like the blood run or just go higher poundage of your favorite line like going from standard 20# up to 30#?

    Blood Run Sea Flee works well. 30# will work as long as they don't get too bad.
    For the past several years the western side of Lake O has only seen about 2 weeks of "bad flea days". Really not bad the rest of the year
    FYI you won't see them at all until the majority of the Lake surface is 60 degrees or warmer.

    Mono to floro knots?

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Thanks for the input. I have always run a ball bearing swivel between my main line and floro leader and have had no problems. From the thread I thought that some were skipping this step.


    You can skip the swivel. Mono to fluoro is easy to connect with back to back uni knots. Mono to copper works well with properly tied Albright knots. Just make sure you terminate with a good ball bearing swivel at the lure.

    TX 44s won't run

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I run The 44's, 300 copper one side 400 the other with no problems. Tile man is right about the diving though. 

    If they dive with a fish on you are fighting the fish wrong. With a fish on and the board in the water the rod MUST be held parallel to the water until the board is close enough to be lifted out of the water.
    If a board should dive, typically at the end of a long run, simply put your thumb on the spool and freespool it. The board will keep the line tight on the fish and will pop up within 30 seconds or so.
