I run 32# copper on Daiwa 57Lc3bs which is pretty much the same size.  Like it was mentioned above, you can get over 200 yards of cheap 50# braid and 300 ft of 32# copper on there.  You can probably get close to 300 yards of backer if you went down to 40# and ran a thinner braid like power pro.

 

When I dont know the exact capacity, I fill one reel the hard way putting the copper on first and then filling up with braid to just over 100% and then taking it off, transferring it to another spool with a drill and winding it back on braid first.  I use a clamp on line counter when the braid goes on so I have a reference for future reels.  This is not fun but I really dont like reels that arent full nor do I like running 286 feet of copper because I put too much backer on.

Another thing to consider is run trolling bags so you will have to run at higher RPMs. The higher RPMs will also generate more amps to charge your batteries if you have that feature.

 

 

 

Yup, better oil pressure as well.

I got these spoons years ago at Narby’s tackle shop Pt Breeze….

If you like these spoons just give me name and address and I will send them to ya…I have a few I already use so I don’t mind sharing . The browns around Point Breeze love this spoon…Send me a PM with your info and they are yours 🎣👍🏻

I have a couple FLT Goby spoons, brand new in the package. They have copper backs and a glow eye … 3 3/4 “ long.  And they actually have a very light sparkle that must of been mixed in with the clear coat, can only notice it when you turn the spoon …Not sure if the pic shows the paint job but they look just like a goby.  

That thermal video is amazing, you can see a couple pieces of the fox fly off into the brush after impact…….. wow

Well that’s not good.  Core-lokt ammo I would guess?

How old was the Remington ammo ? 
I had it happen once years ago but the ammo was at least 10 years old. 
That primer looks like it has a good hit from the firing pin.  

We hunt plenty of sea ducks here in Maine, a lot of  Old Squaw and Eiders.

The popular way to cook them is to bake them with a brick inside the bird and when it’s done you toss the bird and eat the brick !   Our sea ducks taste just like low tide.  Fortunately we know an old fella that has a big smoke house and he takes them and brines em up. Still fishy tasting to me though even after smoking. Wish they were better cause they are fun and easy to hunt on the coast.

I love my 300’ coppers, you certainly feel the fish. Toughest thing about copper is learning how to let your line out without backlash !!   Took me a couple years to get real comfortable with it.  I only run 300’ coppers on line counters so I can run ‘‘em short if I want   We catch a bunch of fish on them but the one thing I will say is that it’s hard to catch and release some fish epically steelhead cause the heavy line takes its toll on the fish when bringing them in. 

Love the rubber mallet!!!!

Dont forget the Twilli Tip
