I did this as well, had some really nice cables in the basement from my car audio days 20 years ago, now have a solid connection, the factory cables are junk. Mine has worked flawless down to 110 without issue even with some bad spots in my cable.

Thanks.

Anyone have a fill chart as far as what amount of backing I need for 350 and 400 copper lengths? or should I just buy two 300 yard spools and call it a day.

I have a boga, not worth the money IMO, plus mine is off by 1 lb, how that happened who knows, cheaper options available. 5.00 lip gripper does the same thing.

Use 30 mainline with 20lb leaders, I used to not use a leader and noticed more hookups once I did.

I would go with 83/200, 83 has a wide cone 200 has detail great for running while looking.

Sure, Let me know. I have owned alot of lowrances I have 5 right now, 3 on my boat, one for ice fishing one for sled and have gotten rid of a few. Couple of my friends are on the Lowrance pro staff, over the years we have figured out alot of stuff on them, I will say the new ones have gotten easier but yet more complicated. I have only had my new touch 9 on the water a few days so I'm still playing with some stuff as well. Shoot me a PM whenever

Did you "install" the right transducer? You have to tell the unit which one you are running. I just picked up a gen 2 touch 9 inch and have it networked with my 8 inch gen 1, defintely required some setup. Let me know what you have I might be able to help.

Joe, FWIW I run two riggers, one with a flasher fly in cold water, the other with a spoon typically 20-30 up (so say 110 and 70 or 80) with a fixed slider (mup rig) I typically run 2 wire divers, standard setting is a 2 I almost never change this, if fleas aren't around I will add another set of wires or braid divers then I run a 1 and a 3 setting. When conditions allow I run a 300 copper off a board and a 400 copper down the chute. If I'm fishing inside early or late in the day looking for fish out of temp or staging kings i'll run the 300 and a 10 color. I definitely subscribe too less is more and had charter captain tell me the same, more rods don't increase your bites like walleye fishing or so it seems, I to use to want to stick a bunch of rods out but found it's too much typically running only 5 or 6 max 90% of the time.

Guys the squeaky wheel gets the grease you don't like what the person is telling you, call back and talk to someone else or **** up a storm till you get to a manager and demand better service.
