you don't need to be on a USCG 6 pack captained boat to get experience. post you looking to go FISHING!

Diawa Seagate 60, new reels I just put 450 & 550' of 32# Blood Run copper with the spro heavy swivels and 300 yards of 30# braid backer

I just bought 2, one with blood run copper 32# at 550', 30' of mono then backed with 150 yards of 832 braid, The second one same but only 450' of 32# blood run copper

Dacron it is, thanks for all the input Scott

I have home made double boards and am still using the (very) old hi vis green braid to pull them. I've seen at a show some heavy mono which I think may help the releases to slide out. Any one using the mono and what pound, and do the releases slide out better? Scott

don't pay attention to blow back affecting the sub troll speed reading. I've had a sub troll since they first came out, got to be getting close to 20 years now. Every few years I take it back in to have it serviced or just checked out. I was talking to Duane & Hank (owners) and he explained their testing on blow back. What happens is due to the fact that the ball is so close to the probe it pulls the probe level, I had my doubts on that but he told me they did some kind of testing to prove it. Anyways like said get to trust it and pay attention to it and you won't leave home without it.

if you loose that much gear at one time I would hit my GPS ASAP and get a hold of a diver to (attempt to) recover it. There are a lot of dive shops that I'm sure could find you a diver if your not over the 100' or so. You run him/her out in your boat and who knows, being a past diver, you may even find someone to do it for the challenge

20# is fine, it depends on the reel and how you have the drag set, I have a light weight setup with 12# for spring

tie in a 15' section of 50# mono to attach the board too. I would think that the clip on the board slipped down on the PP to where the copper was attached and caused it to break at that connection, just my guess on the break

What broke/bent on the Cisco, from what I understand they carry a lifetime warranty. Did they stand buy the warranty? Scott

great reply

your right with price, all of them are $$$$ not shopping price....but price conscious

I want to buy one of the three manufactures rod holders, I saw them all and Cannon at the Buffalo NY show. Will be installing either triple or quad rod holders on each side. Looking for opinions, So far I'm leaning Cisco. thanks Scott
