Frogger

So we started at 60-80 down having 46 at 80. When we came in around the 150 depth we found that 46 degrees turned to 53 degrees. We headed back out and when the 80 ft down ball hit 49 degrees all hell broke loose. Thanks Bill, not too many lakers (Slimers) pushing 20lbs have hit my floor. One long reel on 400 copper. We needed her back in May on Seneca...... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

12-14 with 6 majors out of Sandy. 170ft was best for us. Found a temp break that made it fun for Signalman and I. Had to post a Laker for ya Whaler. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I don’t want to see that...... I’m just sayin Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Here’s fresh off the press that works 100%. Use 15lb test troll for an hour down 100feet, have a buddy start a video, reel up placing the line between your teeth while grinding and pulling line. Send us video for confirmation. At least that’s what I heard.......[emoji102] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Seems to be the direction I might head if I have one iotta of an issue with mine. I’m just not a big fan of the lever to let the ball down. Afraid of accidentally hitting it with a net or something. Or am I missing something. Sorry, not to hijack thread. Hope you find what the issue was causing the damage. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Any body have any electro shocker I could borrow........ I’ll get them to come off lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Yea. I might have to try it. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I’m surprised someone has come up with an invention that is a currently made product. I know the line has been made but no longer. Seems a huge opportunity for someone to come up with something. Any one ever try a twill tip with a downrigger line using mono? They seem to scrape them off with wire on the dispsy rods. I know of all the other so called tricks out there, Velcro on a ruler, screw driver rubbing the line, 40-50lb mono. Guess I’m looking for that button you push and they get electrocuted of the line lol. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Use to run a whole rigs with them back in the day. Ran 1.5-1.7 for speed and had a ball. Now for what ever reason there not as popular. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I would try it. One thing for sure, if your not bit in an hour something is not working with it. Might be the hot ticket. Just pm me though if it turns out to be the bomb lol Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Bike, try to get the info from lake bound. He’s about the most knowledgeable with what’s working on Seneca. Fat Nancy’s has a lot of stuff that may lead you to be too rigid for Seneca vs LO. Hes one of those when he speaks I listen types. Good luck if you get back out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Les, I think as the king of Lou, it would only be fitting if you went up and got all of that wonderful gear and drove around like in an ice cream truck to all of the area launches...... free lures.... I mean ice cream..... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Boy that didn’t take long. Sharp rig. Congrats. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Do it. Nothing’s changed regarding copper, may have to clean it a few more times but they still work. Buddy and I were on Cayuga a few weeks ago and I pulled out the twin for old times sake and had a ball. Caught weeds but was still fun. Keep Copper Alive!

So you could do it but to your point the drag piece would be come the problem especially when you connect to a 10+lber. You would find yourself either pulling it all in by hand and laying the copper on the floor or both hands trying to reel it in while controling the tension on the drag. If you had another person trying to reel it while you pulled it in by hand might work but the position of a down rigger on the back of the boat with someone handling the copper isn’t comfortable. Some have modified a downrigger to do what your saying with a lighter spongier boom so it takes away the stiffness. You would just have to play around with it.
