Looks like the launcher is from Great Lakes Planers. Good stuff. -
New to Copper, a few questions
AnglingAddict replied to greenboatluke's topic in Tackle and Techniques
If you are going to run copper - at some point you will get it tangled. Don't overthink it - you can run 300s on the smaller inlines - run your divers tighter on like a 1 1/2 setting and you will be fine. If you go with longer coppers then you can run one down the chute or go with the bigger TX-44s or the new offshore board meant for longer coppers. -
I think you are off to a good start - get hooked up with someone who is willing to teach you the basics. Be prepared to spend a lot of time trying to figure things out, but that's all part of the fun. In all honesty - when it blows out of certain directions is doesn't matter how big your boat is - it's not worth being uncomfortable out there. The finger lakes are a short distance away and being trailer able - that would be a good option for days with big west winds. Much of the gear for lake O can be used on the fingers for trout trolling as well. Before you start randomly rigging your boat - get an understanding of how to optimize the rigging for your boat so that things flow when yo are working the gear at the back. Lots to learn, but welcome and feel free to ask away!

Wow Pete! Someone got a good deal! Good luck with the install on the new electronics! -
Interlux VC-17. It's probably around $50 per quart but worth every penny....good stuff.

What is the granularity at which the data is sampled and pushed to the file? -
I bought a set of Cisco electrics this year. I know a lot of people say the have more powerful motors - but I think honestly they are just geared lower which gives them more torque. Motors I think draw same current and voltage as the big Jon's. Regardless - they pull hard. Are a bit on the slow side but that's fine. They look great and if anything are overbuilt - so I have no worries with regard to longevity. Great reels.

I wouldn't worry too much about it...I move stuff all around and only use the counters to replicate what's going on. A dipsey set identical in one side of the boat with a spoon and the other on the other side of the boat with a flasher fly will be at different depths with the same wire out assuming both spools full anyways. Pull of the flasher changes the dive angle on a dipsey slightly....so I wouldn't worry too much if you only pulled off 50 feet of wire or something ....if you pull off half the spool then it's definitely going to have a bigger effect .

For Sale : USA 8" Flashers

Is one of the 42nd spin docs in lot 3 the gold back? -
One thing to consider - especially using the high speeds - is to make sure you are using the right gauge wiring to the rigger. When you have long runs and undersize wiring you will encounter a lot more resistance - this will cause the motor to operate at a lower current which isn't always the best option - especially under load. That's something that probably deserves a look as well. I have the Canon high speeds as well and have not had any issues yet and am using 15-17 pound sharks depending on how deep I am fishing. -
It won't do any good - you need a fixed position pulley and one which is movable for it to work as you are thinking. When you move the end applying the force a distance of 2x, it then moves the load on the original cable by 1x in distance thus halving the tension in the cable (force required to lift the rigger weight). For this to work you would need a movable pulley which would end up underwater. The additional drag by the pulley in the fluid medium at trolling speeds would also increase tension on the cable (although probably not to the original value if you choose a small pulley). You can't just wrap a cable around a bunch of pulleys and get mechanical advantage. One set of pulleys needs to move in the direction that the cable is being taken up.

My bad - thought he meant the use of dipseys with leadcore. Should have read original post more closely...
-
No worries - like others stated it works well. I don't think it's an additive relationship - many factors to consider but a deep diving crank combined with leadcore definitely gets deeper than the leadcore alone.
