    Going deep

    I would spool your reels with wire. Cuts the water well and achieves better depth.
    When I first started with divers, a mentor told me to use wire... So split a 1000’ spool on 2 reels and backed it with 40# mono, it worked well until a tangle left me with under 225’ of wire on one. Broke off, lost everything, dipsy, flasher, fly. [emoji30] Since, I’ve spooled all 1000’ on my reels. A bit more expensive but, it’s better to be able to trim pigtails and kinks in the end when you have 1000 on the reel. IMHO from my short experience trolling deep Water.

    Don't back it with mono. Just put the whole spool on the reel. Remember it's not the little ones that are going to break you off it's the fish of a lifetime that will. Don't cheap out and put more weak links in the set up
