Thanks ! Getting ready to buy my 1st set up. Figure I will get in enough trouble on my own learning how to use it ,so want the pole and reel to be right. JT

Ray , Glad to hear she is doing better . God Bless ! JT

I have a 12 volt motor on my boat hoist to lift the boat and have a 5 watt solar panel hooked up to the battery at the end of the dock. It goes the whole season and battery always has plenty of charge. I am very happy with the 5 watt panel. I bought mine at Northern Tool on sale for $39.00. If you get to big of a panel you may need a regulator so you don't over charge your battery. Good Luck ! JT

After reading that I wonder if they should be used with copper as well ???? Is anyone using them on their copper rigs ?

Ya got me thinking a bit here. If the depth is a 1/3 of the line out I wonder if the width couldn't be a 1/3 of your 282'. That might give you aprox 200' wide spread. Got any diving gear ?

Not so sure that would work here because there is so much bend in the line . I have to believe from the rod to the dipsey the line is anything but straight. But Thanks!

Chowder , is a pike ball float just a big bobber ? How far back would you run the float. Thanks JT

Hi ! Seems like from what I've read here if your running wire Dipsey (like a Walker 107 ) set on 2.5 it's a 3:1 ratio (300' wire - driver down 100'). So if I'm running a diver on each side of the boat set at 2.5 with the same amount of wire out on each , any idea of how wide the spread would be with 100' , 200' or 300' ? Thanks JT

I would like to Thank Everyone for all the Great input ! I have a 18' boat and will be buying just 1 set up for now so it looks like a 600' copper would be the most versatile way to go . (along with a pair of wire cutters ) Trying new things is half the fun fishing. (can't decide if spending money or catching fish is the other half) Thanks again for all the help!!! JT

YT, Spring and Fall I fish out of the Genesee . During the summer I fish out of Sodus . How do you set your drags for copper ? Is it anything like wire ? Thanks again for all the good info ! JT P.S. What do you normally run on the copper ? (spoon , SD ....)

Chowder , If you where to get just 2 copper rigs what lengths would they be ? Thanks everyone for the Great info

Last season I picked up 2 dipsy wire set ups which out fished my riggers . So everything I read here was true . Now I would like to pick up a copper rig . But not sure how to run it . Do you let copper out like wire with a loose drag then tighten it up a bit ? If I am running 2 riggers and wire dipsies on either side ,when do you put the copper in ? To keep tangles to a minium do you run it down the shoot or inline planner ? Thanks for any help !!!! JT

FYI was just checking the Garmin web site they have a $100.00 rebate on some of their marine gps's

I would look at : BOE marine - Anchor Express - GPSonsale . Good Luck!!!!

Maybe this link will help ! http://www.raymarine.com/raymarine/Subm ... _guide.pdf http://www.humminbird.com/leading_innov ... -plus.aspx looks like it could be the same thing

Hi ! Was wondering if anyone used braided line instead of cable for their riggers and if it wouldn't eliminate the voltage problem ? If you do use it ,will it last as long as the cable ? http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equi ... d-line.htm Thanks JT
