chinook 35 - I'd have that possible impingement syndrome checked out thoroughly as you can lose a lot of range of movement without even realizing it. Either a dye test or MRI is about the only way to diagnose whether it is that or a torn rotator cuff and either way PT is probably the best route if not something operable (like the rotator). No I'm not a doc but I have been through the situation.

I'd be using Ugly stik ultralights (5 1/2 ft?) on Keuka for those lakers. Thye double as good perch and panfish rods as well

Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that this is bad for the lake as is the unscreened water intake that is grinding up the fish and bait.

Pappy you have a PM

As a rule of thumb I use the 1/0 on small spoons (2-3 inches) a 2/0 for most medium spoons and for some mags 3/0. Size 2/0 or 3/0 will work on most mags on real light flutters I may downsize1 size to accomodate the weight change. The eyelet on the hooks comes open from the package so you have to take off the treble and then carefully close the eyelet with pliers

I have always used Mustad Siwash stainless steel #9510XXX salmon hooks in sizes 1/0, 2/0 and 3/0. I have never bent one ever.....they have a long point and rather compressed barb and are relatively easy to get out with just needle nose pliers.

If you just want manuals find some Penn manuals very reliable and last a long time They make both a short (24 inch?) and long (48 inch?) boom. The Penn Swivelmatic bases although pricey are the ones to get (The ones with the shark teeth look).

Check with electrical supply places. In a pinch 600 ft of 30 lb AFW Surfstrand braided copper will work It just doesn't cut through the water quite as nicely as single strand.

Admittedly it can happen but in over 50 years of using the singles I have had maybe a half dozen at most with them through the eye (as mentioned smaller fish and usually rainbows). I would compare this with all of the floaters I have seen while on other boats that resulted from being too long out of water and rough handling while getting trebles out so it is again mainly a personal preference issue and I think better hookups with SS singles because the hooks don't work against each other as with the trebles. I arrange my singles with the hook pointing upward which I think helps with hookset. Good cases can be made either way.....
