Our rigger is 120 down for 46 degrees

The release "fixes" the slider at a certain depth vs a "free" slider. Without the clip or a rubber band the slider settles at half the ball depth, which also catches fish.Sorry but I have never fished a slider before and was going to try this year. Can you explain the set in the picture. It seems redundant in that you have 2 slider mechanisms. What is the purpose of the release?
My buddy's personal best came on a free slider out of temp.

Salmon are nuts. You won't want to mess with that red clip while one is going crazy at the transom. Rubber band snaps and removes itself. Usually. We had one jam in rod tip last summer and cost us a fish. Nothing is perfect, but it only ever happened once.

Don't have one. Half hitch rubber band onto mainline. Pass snap from slider through rubber band, then clip to mainline. Make sense?

#16 rubber bands work great for fixed sliders. Easy to set and allow the fish to slide down easy.
Don't rule out free sliders. They work equally well some days.

A Twilli tip or roller tip is required to prevent damaging the wire. The Twilli tip works just fine and is extremely easy to put on yourself.
19 strand is supposed to be much easier to work with and show weak spots before failure. I intend to switch upon respool. Put 1000 yards on no matter your choice.
Run lines through a rag in your fingers for tension to fill tightly.
Fill one reel, tie on mono backer, and fill to full. Tie mono backer to other empty matching reel. Zero counter. Wind on mono. Write down #. Wind on wire. Fill original reel with appropriate amount of backer using noted #. Any mono will do in the 20 to 40# range. Anything laying around. It's to prevent wire slipping on spool. Your in big trouble if you ever see it while actively fishing. [emoji44]
Okuma Convector 30's and Daiwa Sealine 47s work fine for me. Friends with 30 Coldwaters like those. Everyone loves Tekotas, they last forever.
We use 10' dipsy rod on outside 3 dipsy and 8' rod on inside mag dipsy.

That's the whole point to run it and source of it's effectiveness. It finds fish as it swims around. Leadcore works great on Lake Michigan, but Ontario's fish hold much deeper, so copper is better.Wow ! There is a significant difference the deeper you go based on speed. Our poles are rigged with the 32lb copper. At 400 feet there seems to be a possible 40 feet difference in .5 mph.

A 300 copper is supposed to be about 70 down when clipped just past board.

A 400 copper is supposed to run about 90 down on a straight troll when clipped just past board. Hitting bottom on an inside turn sounds right.yes....and taking turns will lower it too. I found bottom twice this past year in 100-110 ft of water on a 400 copper off of a church Tx44 with copper not far back from the board. this was enlightening.

We only run one copper or core per side. Two sounds like a mess.

Have an 18.5' boat. Run 8 rods.
300 copper, 400 copper, two size 1 dipsy set on 3, two mag dipsy set on 1, two riggers with 12lb balls. Fixed slider on one rigger. Free slider on other.
Have been pulling the outside dipsys when resetting coppers to avoid tangles.

What brand are those planer reel setups clamped to the rails?
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Yes.I have a couple 45s with 5 color on, can I run snap weights to compensate... Like the set-up tho
From experimentation we've caught many fish on a 5 color with 6 oz added at backing, then another 130 to 160 let out. Works when boats nearby have their 300 coppers firing.

Those clips aren't necessary with twisting on the pin.

I only bent the arm and added Blood Runs' stainless pin. See no reason to move weights yet. I also was able to make a set of pins for a friend's board out of 1/8 stainless welding rod. Bent in a vise and cut groove with hacksaw. I'm also going to go back to the original clips that came with the boards. No need to mess with the yellow one when doing the twists on the back pin.
Don't be afraid to bend the arm. Looks goofy, but works great. Completely takes away the flip and dive tendency of these boards. Keeping the rod low will seem strange too and also works well.

Yes. You should have a field day. We couldn't keep them off.

It's now showing gusts of 35 with sustained winds of 20-25. Will be nasty, unless hugging shore.
