I always have tied the lead swivel to the end of my dipsy leader so that I could quickly change Spin Doctor/flies on and off when on the water. Same with my Downrigger rods that are dedicated to paddles/spinners/flies so it was an easy on-off process.
Hello,
Selling a mixed lot of trolling spoons (Stingrays, DW, Moonshine, etc). They have been good to me in the past and I hope someone else can land a few fish with them.
26 in total for $100. If you need shipping let me know. I’m happy to cover the cost for a LOU member.

We all were introduced to this great sport by someone. For a lot of us it was a close family member or a best friend. One of our fellow LOU members Nick Overacker (REEL STORIES) lost his father today. Nick is a great guy and one hell of a fisherman. I know he will get through this with the support from his wife and family. I want him to also know his fishing family is here for him too!
Hello!
Clearing out a few new/used spoons that I no longer use. I have had success with some, some have never seen the water but as most of you know spoons catch more anglers then fish sometimes! Hopefully someone on this forum might find some success with these. Could be a good starter package for someone looking to get into this great sport.
First set of pictures are larger spoons from my Lake Ontario Box. (28 total). $75
Second set of picture are smaller spoons from my Finger Lakes Box (30 total). $75
If anyone interested would need shipping, I will pay for it.
Tight lines,

High sun, between the hours of 11am-2pm is a challenging time for me also and I am by no means a charter captain or winner of any notable tournament series on Lake O but with that being said; I have had more success recently in those conditions limiting my spread and pulling rods to (5 rods only), lengthening my leaders on my thumpers and dipsys (9-16ft) and using only natural colors (black, silver, green) often with little to no additional "jazz" (UV tape, glow etc). I have not altered speed too much at these times but I am sure that someone on here can provide some feedback.
Hope that helps!
All great advice from great fishermen!
I would also advocate for a 1# thumper rig down the shoot (center). From rod to reel and 20# wire the set up can be <$135 total.
Good luck!
Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a fellow angler who wants to help me promote the sport we all love.
Pre-pandemic I had placed an ad in the classified section looking for used or unwanted tackle to be donated to a local middle school fishing club here in Rochester. With outpouring support I was able to accumulate a good quantity of tackle and some rods/reels for the group. Unfortunately, the pandemic then hit and the group did not meet for the 2020/2021 academic calendar as assumed. Group meetings were not allowed until later in 2021 which is when I tried to donate the gear and tackle. I was met with some administrative resistance and extra hoops to jump through.
With that all being said, I now have all this fishing tackle to donate and no fishing group to present it to (that I am aware of). I am looking for someone who may be traveling to the show in Watkins Glen who can take this tackle and give it out to as many youth anglers that can be found at that show. Please send me a PM and I will arrange a way for us to meet.
Thanks,
-Chris
