Ah. If fleas aren't a concern you could get away with lighter braid for less resistance in the water I use 40 lb on my Finger Lakes rigs and occasionally use them on Lake O but mostly use wire there. No twilli necessary with the braid.

You're right Bill and I was trying to give an option as I use both in both places. Nothing wrong with either of them but I still have some wire on Seth Greens that is 40 years old and it is still fine, but again you have to take care of it to prevent kinks etc. The fading of the braid isn't the real concern but the slickness of the braid diminishing over time amy be more of an issue with the lighter pound test such as 30 or 40 lb in accruing fleas.

Any of the rods mentioned should work OK on the Fingers. You may wish to consider using a 1,000 ft. of 30 lb stranded wire instead of braid and therefore if you do run into fleas it should not be much of a problem. The only modification would be using twilli's on the tips (they are only a few bucks). I've used them on each of the rods you mentioned on the Fingers and they aren't much of a problem to put on. The wire will last a long time if you take care of it. A lot of the braid e.g. Power Pro loses its color (fades) and coating dissipates over time and especially when subjected to prolonged sunlight while you can get years from the wire. The wire will probably be about tjhe same price or cheaper for the same amount (e.g. 1,000 ft.).

Yep the 1 fish limit was a mistake anyway for the lakes west of Cayuga It never should have been imposed on Canandaigua at all for example and it was a pretty conservative move anyway for Seneca. What i wonder is why the DEC seems to think the perch fishery is OK in Seneca and Canandaigua.

X2 Really the way to go especially if you can get others to chip in becomes quite reasonable.

Possibly hire a coyote from the cartel. They know seem to how to fit 12 people into a regular car Sorry I couldn't resist.

Keith is living proof that you can still remain a science "geek" and and yet be a very competent hunter and fisherman
