Gambler is correct about placement. Lakers are notorious followers so you don’t want to pull them away from other opportunities with trailing baits. This uses an assumption that fish see up better than down based on eye position. I did an article in GLA a few years back titled “layered for lakers” that chronicles a technique I was using on Ontario. First rod forward was the deepest with a 2 lb thumper and cowbells. Next rod was a dodger/fly on rigger, just off the bottom with a long set back to stay out of the thumper. To figure out how long a setback you use via A2 + B2 = C2 ( I know ....sorry it’s math) whereby A2= depth of water and C2 = amount of line out on thumper. B2 is what you need to solve for rigger setback. Next bait forward is just above that with mag dipsy on one side and then just behind that rig is standard dipsy on opposite side. You can add more layers with junk lines out back or boards. I can run additional thumpers off my otter boats with fixed aftco roller releases. The idea is to present as many opportunities for a fish to have a bait in its face while trailing behind your spread. Of course you could just jig for them LOL.

Underwater footage looks no different than standard jig.

Rollmops is right, you still have to keep an eye to the sky and your cell phone radar. Look at todays’s olcott buoy data shows how things can turn bad fast when systems blow thru. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=olcn6

Brother.....that’s as good as it gets in Oswego

Cheaper to take Dr Weidel out for kings and grill him while he is reeling in fish.

Perfect.

I have tried to convince Dr Weidel the Kaho needs riggers.

Yes, the 500 lb Spectra gives me the piece of mind that if my board marries to another, I will win the tug of war hehe.

Amish outfitter spectra line is white.

30’ of mono before leader. Attach diver 1-2’ onto leader. If you are going for stealth then go stealthily ie long leads.
