I've been impressed with the power pro super slick, I think the coating on the line has something to do with it's ability to shed fleas. Give it a try, and like les said, it's way more versatile than wire is.
launched at 630 went right out to 80 saw what I assume were lakers glued to bottom, picked up a brown on a 150' braid dipsy on a 2 setting, one more hit on that. Picked up at 200' and ran out to 500' and picked away at steelhead and skippy kings.
90î¼% of the fish we marked were in the 40-60 range with the other being higher.
temps were all over
current was ripping, west-east was more productive
orange/bright spoons did most of the damage off the dipsy, and 40' rigger and 10 color.
stinger spoons paint jobs suck
to the oak tomorrow
its mostly just a matter of finding concentrated fish and putting a jig in front of them, in the fall the fisg will be balled up at the river mouths, drop a jig down there and keep it moving they will pound it.
I'll second what justin said, when fishing rivers or snaggy situations when I know I'll lose cranks I have a box full of matzuos that I bought on sale for 1 or 2$ a piece. I never get them to run right, however their jerkbaits are decent but still there are way better alternatives.
If you put it on before your leadcore I think that the diver is fighting against the pull of the lead, put it on at the backing and the leadcore is already doing its work and the diver only has the resistance of the braid backer and it's able to pull harder... Just how I've always figured it works.
snapped frame on my current trailer, need another trailer for my 16.5' sea nymph backtroller aluminum boat. Prefer rollers over bunk but really would take anything right now. Have cash in hand.
