BrokeOff

the rigger was set at 70' and later 90'. we use 8# weights there was some blowback not sure how that effects the arc in the line...

pm for sharks

yes. maybe took out too much of the bow i guess. Both times it was down at the main line release when we tryed triping the rod to switch spoons. only other thing i can think of is maybe a small fish hit and pulled the spoon down? the releases were cranked pretty tight.

i am using this on church tx-44 board should i splice in some 40# mono for where the board clips? i noticed it was wearing out my braid backing where the release holds.

tryed free slider for the first time but it kept getting hung up on the rigger release making it impossible to trip when retrieving line. Not sure if it worked its way down quick or what. spoon was super slim glow frog. it did take a shot at one point saw the rod slack up for a few seconds but fish wasnt around after that.

son of a. how many times should i wrap around for the albright knot? after 5 it gets pretty hard to pull tight and animated knots says to do 10. or do you guys prefer some kind of spro swivel?

I noticed that I have some lead exposed at the albright knot to backing (tear in sheath i guess). Is this a weak spot or is this common with leadcore knots? The knot is 12 colors back so it is a pain to get to and retie.

Got a few questions: do you have any newer pictures? looks like these are the same pictures from last years post from another member. Where is this boat located, Seneca Lake? And does it come with planar mast?

What color spoons are best to run as cheaters (sliders not fixed)? Thinking the stinger standard size or dw ss for the size. Are NK 28s too heavy for sliders?

interested please pm for prices. is there difference between mags/regs. would like them rigged, thanks.

pm sent for church boards local pickup

does 'this' spoon or 'that' spoon seem to take more fish than regular die hard pattern?

wow nk cant even reproduce them... thats poor. that would explain it tho. are they producing any spoons right now? or is it just a problem for certain color spoons? nks paint has always held up great for me

syracuse area, but ive checked pulaski

Can't seem to find any, even the NK28 ssw seem to be sold out. The only place I have found is to order direct from NK but then you have to pay 5.24-5.50 a spoon + shipping and + tax i bet.

Been using walleye boards but would like to tow some heavier lines like a 300 or 400 copper or 10/12 leadcore. Saw a youtube video and looks like they can tow divers as well. Just looking for input.

i see the reels for $105 on ebay but they are not the highspeed reels. ratio is only 4:2:1

What reel do you guys prefer for 12 color lead cores? want enough room for plenty of backing as well, thinking Okuma Clarion CLR-553LS but seems pricey. 6:1 ratio tho! any good alternatives?

nice, that was easy thanks

I bought a pre-rigged 5 color core and the knot that came on it from lead to flouro leader is too big it takes some shoving to get it through the levelwind part of the reel. Im using daiwa great lakes 47 sealine reel. Should I cut and tie something or just chance it getting caught up there? I didn't notice the first knot from the braid to lead. That made it through with ease...

what sizes?

do you still have this for sale?

ill take these

what knots should i be using to tie swivels on with 20#/30# mono or flouro? when tying direct (uni/uni) from mainline to leader do i really need a swivel after this or should I leave it bare to snap/swivel? or should i avoid the uni knot altogether and just attach the main line and flouro leader with a swivel? thanks

I was close.... Okuma Classic Pro GLT Rod - CP-DR-862M are the rods I ordered a few days ago (27.95) downrigger rods. Im guessing these are the same but without the metal guides. Should have started this thread before I ordered. The leadcore rod was 39.95 maybe ill put another order in for one of those.
