Really interested in the leadcore if it works like proposed. I guess if you run them strictly off of boards it would work with 30 or 40 foot of mono. I have run leadcore for years and I'm kinda confused about. I was taught that leadcore to work effectively must come through the water such as -------'----- this but wavey with the water currents? So now in my mind or was of thinking is if you don't let out at least the length of the core in backer the core is coming through the water on a angle with maybe the lure on depth but the rest angled towards the surface? Or am I all wet!!

Took me a bit Les, you mean the Berkley line counter itself? Yea I bought one so I knew how much backer I was putting on each reel as I was doing 6 reels and I was putting on Berkley big game on and the counter flew apart before I had the 6th reel done. . I see what your doing now Rolmops, making a multi purpose reel to cover all the lengths of wire. I saw a #55 line counter reel at our local bait shop, that thing looked huge, filled with wire, you might have to buy one of those rod holder that goes around your body and over your shoulders like suspenders on the count of weight!! Just for the rod & reel!! It will as heavy as a battery till you put all that metal line and weighted line on top yet!! LOL

I'm asking a general question ROLO, why would put a 1000. Feet of steel and another 300. Feet of this newer weighted line? I'm more interested as to why you would need a 1000. Feet of backer of any kind? I'm not being an ass.

I've had many different recipes made up, given to me from many secret places. I litterly made hundreds of pounds of jerky in my jerky carear, first off costs to make a brine is very expensive. Worcestershire sauce is costly, and the soy sauce plus the spices and cure salts. The biggest problem with the homemade brines is consistency, even if you used different brands from soy sauce to soy sauce and the Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins verses store brand will change the flavor a lot. I found a place from Colorado that makes a sweet/hot mix that my kids love!! I buy it in 10lbs. bags and it takes X amount of o/z's per 5lbs. of meat you mix it with cold water and add meat and mix by hand till the mix is all absorbed by the meat. It feels tacky, and I put the meat into a gallon Ziplock bag and remove as much air as possible and let it in the refridguater flipping occasionally for 24hrs. Before going into the smokehouse, which I do it in a outdoor smokehouse I use propane for heat and a small woodstove outside and add my smoke by hooking a piece of stove pipe to the smokehouse. I use 6" pipe into the smoker with a damper so I can control the heat and exhauste the smoker with a 3" stove pipe with a damper. But getting back to the brines, I'm very happy I found this mix, lord help me should this company close up!! LOL

Time to trade the old girl in for a new one !!

Man this is the second post on a brown trip in January!! Congrats to you at least you got bit in 15mins. thats awesome guys!! I hope your outting tomorrow is as great as your start was today!! Good luck

I think this will clarify what exactly your looking for. Good luck with your purchases, I have one but you can't remove the chair from the base, it came out of a boat I bought 2-3 years ago, that I use around home to pull the kids tube around on. You don't want that type. Its always in the way. If it were removable I would have left it in, but you still have that big bubble there. Just something for the kids to stumble over.

Are you looking for the recessed type where you need to cut a 3" hole in the floor but they're flush with the floor, or the bubble type that the seat pedestal sits into above the floor??

Yes, that's what all my reels have except my leadcore and rigger rods, as said above some guys use their rigger poles and leader down to 6 through 15# whatever suits your water conditions. I leader down to 8# flurocarbon line you can either join the lines with whatever knots you prefer, I use a #10 or 8 SPRO swiveles, I feel as if I get the most action out of a lure or spoon with a shorter piece of line able to act as natural as possible, everyone has their own way, they feel has been most successful with. With the heavier lines many just use a 1/4 o/z Splitshot to keep the bait under the surface of the water.

Many veteran trollers don't need a speed control, as many years they have been successful without the technology we have and still struggle with, their ears played a major role in their success, and that hum or tone of the rigger cable is ingrained in their head. They have been very successful with the tone or the hum!!
