Copper or lead core

[sskiv]

Having trouble getting my dipsies to release using the 30 lb big game. Thinking of trying copper or lead core for the first time. What would be my best bet and what lb copper would I use? Would probably buy it pre spooled since I am new to the game. If running copper or lead core, do I need a specific rod with rollers? Would a 8' heavy action ugly stick work? Thanks in advance

I wouldn't get crazy with junk lines. Instead try going to a 30lb wire on your divers. You can cover more of the water column because the wire will allow the diver to get deeper, and tripping them is much easier.

Ditto on what Rick said. The release problem is probably related to the stretch factor in the mono and the 30 wire will solve it.
