Single strand “pulling Copper” to reel

[Pappy]

Is it possible to take one of the old style single strand hand line kind of copper and spool it on a reel for trolling rig?

i keep looking at the old school hose reel type copper rig I have thinking it should be used on something!

thanks

You could do it but the big drawback is that you wouldn't be able to monitor the wire for kinks as closely as with the traditional methods and most of the single strand copper is of a lesser strength than braided copper and more prone to kinking. With that said you could use it as a copper rig with braid backing too but with the same potential for failure and would probably not stand up to a a large king, but maybe could be used in the Fingers. Just my take on it.

Thanks!

i have a reel and a rod that would work but don’t want to mess with it if there is a chance for failure!

enough stuff happens, don’t need more!

thanks again
