I used 2 setups like this for several years. I modified my slide divers by removing the bottoms and replaced them with Mag dipsy bottoms (heavier weight) that way they would have the same dive curve as a Mag dipsy. I used them with the plastic tube instead of splicing in mono. They worked great but it's a lot of stuff to maintain and I eventually went away from these rigs. I still use super braid slide divers on 3 when I want to run a 2cnd set of high divers or just to target shy fish.

I never had the pleasure of meeting this man but they say that the greatest compliment you can give to a person is the praise of their friends. Rest in peace.

Nice report!

Agreed, seen it already!

EXACTLY, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

I'm looking for information on possible boat parking rental opportunities at or around Oak Orchard. Thanks!

Agree with Glen, don't you keep a sharp knife around? In all seriousness though I can run 3 or 4 per side without that much board line out. The more line you let out the harder it is to run the clips down the line anyway.

I bought the 6 with 20lb. These reels are in excellent shape, been through Tuna's, with really good line on them. This is a killer deal.

Although they eat good, the eyes aren't going to test your tackle real hard. I love my $23 Eagleclaw 7'6" SF 400 ml rods for spring browns, walleyes, and Flx fishing on the riggers and planners. They work pretty decent with snap weights off the boards too. They are a little too wambly for core and inlines.

An interesting read for sure. No simple answers is the take home I got.

My browns/walleye rods (Eagle Claw Starfire 7' 6" Lites) have Daiwa 17 or 27s spooled with 6# Maxi. When things are really tough I'll albright to 6 FC leader but it's pretty rare. The average spring kings I run into can be handled on these rigs (if you are prudent). At the end of the flat line deal I usually run a pair of 47s spooled with 20lb Maxi on Okuma Blue Diamond ML rigger rods for my flat lines because that's when an occasional brute will be in the mix. These are my summertime spoon rigger rods as well.
