If you only had one copper rod

If you only had one copper rod

Right now I'm fishing 2 riggers and up to four dipsey rods on my boat.  I have an extra Convector CV45 reel and copper rod that I would like to set up.  I only fish the west end of the lake near the bar and Wilson. I was thinking of making a 200 copper combo and I was leaning towards Torpedo weighted steel and wire backing.  According to their video I could let out additional wire backing and achieve greater depth than just the 200 copper.  So, what length of copper should I set up and what do I use for backing?  Thanks in advance.

600 32lb Mark it every 100 feet let out what I want in the chute. Cover 20 to over 110 feet of water consistently.

And thus does another brave soul start down the infamous path toward the inevitable copper-diver tangle.

 

My advice: broaden your vocabulary before it happens. We are sailors of a sort after all...we should know how to express ourselves appropriately.

I wouldn't let any experts from the fishing community see this but, you can avoid the inevitable copper/diver FUBAR...just put them both together before the FUBAR. Now does that make any sense? Wire and diver...diver and wire...copper is wire?
