    Okuma White Diamond Rods

    I like these in 8'6".  I bought a pair of 10 footers and they were way to stiff.  The ones I had were with the wire tip installed.  Legacy - do the ones you bought come with their new wire tip? 

    Were the 10ft MH? I have the option to get them in ML. I wanted the 10ft to increase the distance between my riggers. The guides seem heavy enough to take the wear of the wiper. Does the okuma new wire tip compare the torpedo tip?

    Roemer Winger

    I have just purchased 2 more used riggers for my boat and they came with a pair of Roemer Wingers. I have never seen them or have heard anyone using them in there spread. The guy stated they will pull the ball up to 25ft horizontal at 150 ft of cable with a 15 lb weight? With a extra 5 degrees of blow back? I've been using Roemer stackers for 10+ years and have full faith in the releases except for the metal clip that pops out 1 or 2 times a year. My boats beam is just a hair under 7 ft. Extendable booms are in the works but till then would it be worth a trying them out or are they the perfect recipe for a mangled tangled?

    Off shore snap weights

    I have used dispys but only ever caught 3 Browns with them. I would like to invest in slide divers and 10 ft rods with 40lb power. I feel that the dispys spook the fish. With the slide diver 50ft in front of lure would be better. I have luck with dispys for kings. Off shore kit $50 and use the rods,reels I have now or spend $400+ for new rods,reels, line,slide divers and o rings.

    I'm a budget fisherman with 19 ft boat. I've been throwing around the idea to get my board lures deeper. I've never messed with copper and had bad experiences with led core in the early 80's on my uncles boat. I'm looking for when the Browns are deeper and there is no color/mud lines near shore and no fish on finder. I have 2 manual riggers that I stack and was wonderful night if the snap weight would be worth investing in or would they just scare away the fish? I could run double the amount of rods and cover more water where I'm marking fish. I never had luck with lure that dive over 12 to 15 feet and I hit browns in 35 to 50 flow. Anybody try snap weights on there boards?
