    200' Copper on a tx-22

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I think the biggest thing here is that a lot of guys leave their drags extremely loose when you do this not only do you not get the greatest hook sets but you also allow the board to get easily pulled underneath the water because of all the slack line that can get I like to leave mine not tight not loose but right in between there's enough stretch in your mono leader so that the fish can't break you off and they will still be able to pull drag if they're a good fish.. I have run 300 coppers on TX 22 no problem since I have started running them.. I run 30 lb braid backing and I like to rap the braid backing around the clip once before putting it in so that the planer board cannot slide down or release.. When you do have a fish on you don't need to worry about fighting the fish until you get the board to the boat, the board will fight the fish for you until you get the board to the boat.. When the board starts to get close to the boat they will usually start doing their hopping and trying to dive what I have found is that once you get to that point if you point your Rod tip straight at the board low to the water the board will stay nice and flat the rest of the way to the boat and then you can release it and you will be mono e mono... hope this helps good luck you're still going to get big fish a couple times a year that rip your boards under the water whether you like it or not LOL it just happens try a few of those things and I guarantee you it will definitely help..
