  1. I had a 200 set up with the 19 strand wire. I let the steel out and then 300ft of the 19 strand at 2.5 mph with a flasher fly and it did not hit bottom in 100 fow. A 500 copper would be hitting down to 110ft. Again it's not the same dive curve. It's also an expensive setup and 1 rod crosses it and that's the end of your 19 strand backing. To me the cost did not out weigh the benefits. I have since ditched the 19 strand backing. I rely on my 400 steel with braid backing and a torpedo weight of 4-8oz to get down where the copper would be. I will say the steel is much more user friendly then copper. That said copper still has a place in the water. They both have there good and bad.
  2. It absolutely does not sink 22ft per 100' ft. I have a 200 and a 400ft and the 400' at trolling speeds around 2.5mph with a flasher fly only gets down about 73ft. Best you can do is head out and drop it down and see where it hits bottom.
  3. I have a 57LC with 300 yards of 50lb Power Pro and 200 ft of weighted steel and its full. 300ft won't fit on a 47 LC.
  4. I emailed Daiwa a few weeks ago and it doesn't look good for anytime soon. Supply chain issues. I originally contacted them in November when they were supposed to be released and they told me January. I've since emailed 2 more times and it keeps getting pushed back. Last email said maybe June. I got tired of waiting and bought 2 Penn Fathom II. Same price and I got them, although stock looks low on them as well. Very nice reel. Spooled them up for wire divers. Hopefully they hold up good. Nice smooth drags and a decent gear ratio.
  5. I’ve run mine for 3 years now. I won’t be getting rid of mine any too soon. Not a single issue.
  6. I’ve got 5 people that messaged me for the okumas so I’m going down the line in order of who messaged first. Thanks for your patience.
  7. 5 Okuma CV20D, good to very good condition, $30 ea. 1 Shimano TR100, $20. 2 Garcia 5500C, made in Sweden, $25 ea and 1 Okuma Classic 452 with 10 color leadcore, $25. Buy 1 or all it doesn’t matter. Message me with what you want and we can go from there. I will add a minimal amount for shipping when you let me know what you want. The Convectors and Garcias are sold.
  8. I have one that’s in good shape. It’s an 8’. I also have a 9’6” heavy that I made a diver rod. Text me 518-779-4254
  9. Rod Buster, try loosing the drag and half hitch 2 loom bands or similar rubber band around the wire then go to the reel handle. I've been doing this for years and it works great. When the fish takes it the wire cuts the bands and your all good. Total Chaos

  17. That’s what I told him to do and he said there’s no plate on it. Figured I’d try here. He did say they’re new fuel tanks so maybe the plate is on the tank where he can’t see it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

  19. Thanks. His is an 87’ I figured that’s what size they were. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. No that just complicated things. Lol. I have a 252 gle and mine has 60 gallon tanks and I’ve confirmed it many times at the beginning of the season. I empty my tanks every fall and refill in the spring. However I have outboards and that may be why I have bigger tanks. His boat is an I/O so he may have 50’s. Thanks though.

  21. Asking for a friend. Does anyone on here have a Baha Cruisers 230 Sport fisherman? Can you tell me the fuel tank size? I googled it and couldn’t find it and he doesn’t have any manuals on the boat he just bought it Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
