What would you guys recommend for fishing in Lake O on occasion also?

[ray koziatek]

same for lures ,17 to 20 for spinnies or flashers .

[dukhnter8]

Thanks. So probably use 17 to 20 for dipsy divers.

NO........30lb wire or 50to65lb power pro for main line ,then i use 30lb p-line flouro from snubber to terminal swivel.

Now I'll just have to show my wife this post to justify buying more equipment, like a dipsy rod and reel and good line.

Ray,

Are you using pline floro or pline floro-clear?

I have had great luck with the floro-clear at a fraction of the cost of the 100% floro.
