  1. Tried out 300 of 60 pound and am definitely getting good bottom contact. Was running a bead chain at 5' in front of spin n glo and it was picking up debris. Started running the spin n glo set up direct on my 40' leader and it is working better. I put the 60 pound on a spare reel for safe keeping and opted to put 400' of 45 lb on for my next. Did have an interting thing happy. My other copper rod snagged my mining Rod and I ended up holding the spin n glo in my hand and having 300' out in a big u. I said what the heck and tossed the spin n gl I and when it got 50' fronm the boat down she went and 10 seconds latter źzzzzzz... laker on. Figured I would end up with a mess of line.

    Thanks Bloodrun,    Just happen to be in Pulaski NY and All Seasons Sports had a bulk spool of 60 lb bloodrun.  Spooled 450'  of 30 lb power pro and 300' of 60 lb bloodrun on a Seagate 60.  It is a tight fit.  Most likely take off some baking as this is strictly a LT setup and don't need a ton of backing.  Will report how I do

  3. Did try mining this past weekend on my 300 32lb blood run. End up adding a torpedo weight pulling a spoon and ended up getting a few in the 80-90 foot range.

    Last year I ran 540' of 45 lb copper that I used years ago for jerking copper with gteat success.. I want to know where I can buy the 60 lb copper in 450' and what reel I would use. I see the dive chart listed under blood run, but not for sale. I am primarily looking for a july, August, September setup on my home waters targeting 100-130 range.

  4. Will give it a try bloodrun!  I have tried out the spin glo's on my home waters with riggers and have had limited success, but have had great success with the 32 pound super copper 50' of fluorocarbon 30 lb leader and a 5' section of smaller fluorocarbon to a spoon.    I do jig the rod every so often to entice followers and it produces.  I grew up jerking copper and your wire blows away the 45 pound copper I used to use :)

  5. I was fortunate to water test my old boat with the marine mechanic when I repowered. We ended up changing mounting holes as we had planning issues and there was lots of torque on thg e wheel. I bet your listing is caused by torque from the wrong height and you can not sense it because of the hydraulic steering.

    As far as your top speed you are getting robbed. I have 700 ponds more weight on a 20' plate aluminum hull, 18 deg,kicker,rocket launcher all the bells and whistles pushed by a 175 opti max with five guys at 42 mph on a good day.

  6. I bought a fully rigged 09 alumaweld intruder from this site last year. Being fully rigged with pro kicker & TRL1 all I had to due is add my electronics, downrigger weights and tackle and I was fishing. Use the site search tempest and be ready to run with money in hand to get what you want.

  7. I know the short answer is read the regs...but just thought id ask for a quick answer. I know on Lake Champlain its 3 lines per person, I thought I read somewhere on lake O its 2 lines per person, can anyone point me in the right direction.

    thank you!

    Depends on if you fish in the waters than contain yankee's fans. Or if you fish in waters that typically contain redsocks fans...lol
  8. I have a Scottie pinch pad fastened to my rod holders , I run my drags loose, so it's a constant ( but slow ) creep out, then attach my pinch pad to stop the creep when a king rails it the drag is free enough that he can't break off. As mentioned before run them out to desired depth by loosing drags so it's a constant speed, but slower than boat speed . I also have 20 of 65 lb. braid on the end of my wire, this helps to manage bird nests while rods are being broke down for storage .

    What knot are you using for braid to wire?

  9. I have an older lowrance gps model now. The unit does everything that I need, but it kept loosing signal last summer, then the Navianics chip stopped working. So I am thinking of going with the lowrance .

    Do you guys use the DI a lot?

    I have an hds5 gen 1 that was doing the same thing. Put the latest update in and it works great. It is now networked with a gen 3 hds7 to share waypoints.
