copper line use

[lineman49]

What is the right way to put copper line on reels (use a backer line?) & do you fish it off boards / riggers or just flat line it? If fished off boards can releases be attached to copper ? thanks for any info.

300 yards of #50 power pro is a popular backing. Using a spro swivel to connect the copper to the backing & to connect the flurocarbon leader to the copper is common. Copper is fished of boards or down the chute (flatlined right off the back).

We use the nail knot to connect backing to copper and copper to leader. Depending on what you fishing depends on the leader. Flasher fly - 30lbs mono. Spoons run clean then I would run the florocarbon. I will not run the copper in my releases. Clip it to the backing or i know a few guys who will splice in mono sections every one hundred yards for a more versitile set up. Me I run 200, 300, 400, 500 separate rods and reels. And yes off the boards or down the shoot.
