Misty IV

I spoke with Pete Lahosky last weekend before his seminar at Cabelas and asked about copper and the Daiwa 47 reels, because they are what I have on all my rigger rods. He said I wouldn't get a lot of copper on the 47's. The spools just aren't large enough. He suggested the Okuma Convector CV55L or the Penn 345GTI. The CV55L will hold 400' of copper with the required backing, while the 345GTI will hold 600' if spooled properly.

Thanks, Bill. Yeah, I know. I was at Pete Lahosky's seminar last weekend and he mentioned this site, so figured I better join. Glad to be here!

Hello everyone. My name is Tag and I just joined the forum today. I am registered on the GLA website under Misty IV, as well. I launch my Starcraft Islander 221 out of the Little Salmon River at the Mexico Point State Launch. I have been fishing on Lake Ontario since I was a kid (some 37+ years ago) and always look forward to my weekend trips to the lake. A lot of the great people I met on the GLA website are also registered on here, and I look forward to making new friends and learning more.
