I also have a 7ft inside rod and 8.5 outside and usually expand the spacing of my rod holders when running 2 dipsys. For walleye we consistently run 3 or 4 a side

I run the dream weaver deeper divers with no ring. 124mm mag on the inside 1 setting and 107mm 3 setting on the outside and dont have any issues.

Convector 30s for my dipsy rods and downrigger rods and 20s for my planer board rods. If you wanted one set though to do both I'd say get 30 size so you have enough line

I use diawa wilderness medium rods for both and havent had an issue. I use there medium heavy for dipsys.

Troll with it I'd say 75 percent if the time. If its calm I'll make circles and troll against them other wise it's not worth fighting boat control and speed. That's on o tario salmon fishin and erie walleye fishing

It sure beats laying out a flannel or coat and hoping they are there the next day. You can also get the topo maps when hunting different areas that is nice. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I agree but for coondogs that will go over a mile looking for a coon when there not moving a tracking collar is a must have. Or a dog that decides it wants to chase deer it sure is alot easier to get them back. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Great lakes trolling and hunting with dogs is the 2 worst hobbies you can take up if your looking for affordable... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just so you know you dont have to go through multiple screens. The alpha has 3 push buttons at the top for tone and vibrate and the t15 will tone shock and track all In one collar. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I use the t15 mini on the beagle cause he is smaller. I use the t15 when coon hunting cause she is bigger and has the tone and shock feature. I use the t5 when hunting in competition hunts for coon hunting. In those hunts your not allowed to have shock or tone features to control your dog. If I was just pleasure hunting depending on the size of the dog I would just go with a t15 mini or full size. I have ran the mini on the coondog before with no issues. She is about 45 pounds and fits good. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Besides the point of safety it try gives you a good idea of what your dog is doing. Alot of times when you think your dog is out hunting or being productive it may just be laying in a pile. Not so much if dogs are always in your sight but when there not it can tell you alot. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I use them on my coon dog and beagle for rabbit hunting. For coon hunting there a must obviously in the dark there out of site for rabbit hunting it's nice to have. Both my dogs are tone broke so one touch of the tone button and they both come back. I use the garmin alpha with a mixture of the t15 t5 and t15 mini collars. Trust me it's the cheapest investment you'll make to go home with your dog each time and also for there safety for roads or unwanted property. I've heard mixed reviews about the phone based ones. I've never had an issue with my Garmin's after alot of use. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
