Tie a swivel to the wire...go direct to the dipsie with the swivel. terminal end of dipsie you will tie a 7-10ft leader of mono that you will hook your flasher fly or spoon to. the amount of leader you have will depend on the length of your rods & the size of your boat. I tend to run 9 - 10ft leader...but the person on the rod has to back up as I use 10ft rods. you can only reel the dipsie to the rod. Makes netting interesting , as said....ruff rider has a great vid on copper. You want a 25 - 50 ft leader to your FF or spoon. You can run the copper down the chute or out on boards. I have run them on the TX 44 inline boards or on otter boats. either way will work. If you run it down the chute you have to be ready to either reel it in( not easy on a 500) or get it out on a board as the tendency to get it tangle once a fish on is great. Good luck & have fun!

Stinger Mag Gator UV in green & yellow both took plenty of hits last year!

Live wire & Capt V on Bright high sun....Hammer time, white green dot & Glow frog on cloudy days.

Temp is certainly one of the critical factors once the thermocline has set up. Finding that temp break below 50 degrees can make or break as wether your washing lures or putting them in the strike zone. speed def helps but there are other things that will give you an idea of what your speed is such as gps, blow back on rigger cables & pull on dispsies. The big difference is there can be great currents on the Lake that can greatly varie lure speed at different depths VS the surface. I have tried many different versions of speed & temp units...the new Fishhawk X-4 is hard to beat IMO... If you look back there is other posts on this subject.... Have fun!

What's the beam width? How much space is there behind the helm seat? Thinking of a boat that would also make a nice late season duck boat...that deep v would be awesome for big water later in the season.

Thanks for posting Steve!

Can you post other pics? Helm? crew seating? Does it come with riggers or electronics?

Interesting...hopefully as good as the X-4 Fishhawk. I have the probe but have yet to update my head unit. I noticed that Fishhawk now has the depth for blow back like the cannon unit has.....nice add!

I started running the TX 44 last year & they pulled the 300's, 400's & 500's with ease. Now teaching clients how to reel them in is a learning curve in it's own...but as others have said you have to point the rod tip right at the board until it gets to the boat & then it's game on! I did loose a 300 copper as we had a King make a hard run & the client pulled , causing the board to dive...& ultimately broke off.... we were able to swing around & get the board once it floated back up....minus 300 copper... def going to set up with the mono inbetween this year.

Certainly agree with many of the statements made so far, all GREAT spoons that we have had luck with at some time! Light penetration, (ie cloudy - bright sun- early morning) and time of year all play into what spoon to run. I had good luck with Moonshine & A NBK with glow cup in the early first light last season. But I also had multiple days that The King bite slowed...we slid in to pick up some browns .....& Kings Inhaled the smaller Spoons like Green Alewife & Glow Goby that I had put down while running in shallower water! When they get in close before the fall run you never know what they will hit!
