  1. it sounds more common than I thought. thanks all
  2. its just the end that i clip off that is sticking out. so where the mono touches the lead in the sheath. that lead (the end) is the part thats sticking out.
  3. Wasted a 7 color around wire dipsy Sunday. Didn't realize the dipsy had tripped and when checking it reeled in the leadcore with walleye board... Worst mess Ive ever seen. After cutting I have 2 sections of 2 color that are still good. Can I tie some kind of knot and use this as a 4 color or is it shot?
  4. When tying the willis knot with leadcore is there a trick to keep the sharp lead from popping through the sheath. Id say 75% of the time I tie the knot then inspect it and three inches back from the knot the lead is already sticking out the sheath....
  5. thanks for quick reply. I have yet to run spinnys or paddles on my leadcore. That's the thing not sure if that rod will fire this time of year spoon only down around 20'..... I have dive bombs but thinking that may get in the way of the other lines?
  6. Our current setup is 2 mag wire divers out on a 2 or 3 setting, 2 riggers (one stacked, one cheated) and 2 inline planers pulling cores on the outside. Is it safe to run another shallow core down the chute? Or is this asking for tangles. Was thinking a 5 or a 7 color pulling some kind of stingray or mag spoon. If we hook into a fish on an outside line we could clear the shorter core faster than a full core. We don't have a ton of rod holders so we are using the rocket launcher to hold the planer rods and this extra core rod would have to be up there as well. This should get it out from the riggers a little better being higher up.
  7. whats going on over there? if i was in charge i would only be painting SSW's right now, thats what the customer wants!
  8. what brand are the add-a-lines? and where can I get them? I tried to get the captain hook add a lines but captains cove was sold out and they can't find them anymore...
  9. correction, we were using 10# weights. but we had some blowback for sure. also ran a 7 color core and it took no hits, figured that would be our high line for steel or coho, but nothing. ran everything from small bright orange stinger spoons, stingray nbk, to the bfuller mag SSW. speeds at the surface were around 2.4-3.0
  10. havent heard back assuming u sold the sharks already?
  11. small spoon 10'back, mag 5'. what release do you guys use for the mag though? stacker release clipped to mup leader and a snap swivel connecting the mup leader to the mainline? or is everyone using half hitch rubber bands
  12. were you guys out sunday? we fished 630am-1100 and only got 3. Got a dink brown before 2nd rod went in the water on a 12 color, and a 17#king 30mins after that on wire/fly. That was pretty much our day, ended up dragging a small king for a ways til we checked our lines on a rigger with nbk. The bite just shut down for us we marked a good amount of bait and arcs out there. We stayed in the 120-160 area most of the day tho.
  13. the rigger was set at 70' and later 90'. we use 8# weights there was some blowback not sure how that effects the arc in the line...
  14. yes. maybe took out too much of the bow i guess. Both times it was down at the main line release when we tryed triping the rod to switch spoons. only other thing i can think of is maybe a small fish hit and pulled the spoon down? the releases were cranked pretty tight.
  15. i am using this on church tx-44 board should i splice in some 40# mono for where the board clips? i noticed it was wearing out my braid backing where the release holds.
  16. tryed free slider for the first time but it kept getting hung up on the rigger release making it impossible to trip when retrieving line. Not sure if it worked its way down quick or what. spoon was super slim glow frog. it did take a shot at one point saw the rod slack up for a few seconds but fish wasnt around after that.
  17. son of a. how many times should i wrap around for the albright knot? after 5 it gets pretty hard to pull tight and animated knots says to do 10. or do you guys prefer some kind of spro swivel?
  18. I noticed that I have some lead exposed at the albright knot to backing (tear in sheath i guess). Is this a weak spot or is this common with leadcore knots? The knot is 12 colors back so it is a pain to get to and retie.
  19. Got a few questions: do you have any newer pictures? looks like these are the same pictures from last years post from another member. Where is this boat located, Seneca Lake? And does it come with planar mast?
  20. What color spoons are best to run as cheaters (sliders not fixed)? Thinking the stinger standard size or dw ss for the size. Are NK 28s too heavy for sliders?
  21. interested please pm for prices. is there difference between mags/regs. would like them rigged, thanks.
  22. pm sent for church boards local pickup
