Loosen those drags up...I personally have never used steel leader but the harder you pull the harder they fight...we consistently land 40 plus inch tigers on braid and flouro with no issue. Mind you my drags are smooth and maintained. Or use 50plus lb braid and 80+ leader if you wanna use big lures and tighter drags to get those big hooks buried. -

My mag10 chute rigger went down for the second time this year so I call screwy Louie's to see if I could get an appointment to get it fixed AGAIN while I waited this time to save me an up and back. I then found it's about double to get it done while I wait. I decide to call Cannon to see what they say figuring I'd rather buy a new one than pay double when they just fixed it. Come to find out I can rebuild the entire rigger with overnight shipping for less than a screwy Louie's fix it while I wait. I'll rebuild them myself replacing everything, save a couple hours of driving, all while saving money. Cannon was super easy to deal with and hopefully I won't have any more issues with riggers till I get my new ones.

Wanted Helix 10 or 12
justtracytrolling replied to RD9's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
The helix 12 mega imaging unit is awesome for trolling. You can see individual fish on bait anywhere in your spread...at least to 50 fow...I don't have any experience with it in deeper water. The link to the tm works well also but for what I do I prefer to drive -

The stradic ci4+ are sweet! I have 5 I use for walleye and have no complaint. The spiderwire will be fine for sure

Seaguar isn't a cheap alternative...I've used em all and the seaguar is just a bit thinner and wears better... Just like their leader material. The nanofil is great too but wear is an issue. Powerpro is on sale often and that's what I'd use if I was trying to save money and buying retail. Once you get the hang of it wind knots can be eliminated..even night casting walleye its possible to avoid them entirely, but not with customers!

Lake Champlain opens a week sooner as it borders Vermont water. Yes there were 25 bass tournaments on Champlain over the weekend but all legal. Gotta read the rules...

Most guys use braid that's too light to start and the lighter you go the more wear is an issue and the more wind knots. 20 lb seaguar kanzen with seaguar premier flouro leader in 12lb handles most anything for walleye, trolling included and with the same diameter as 10lb fireline and your average 8lb flouro.

Owasco/Otisco 4 Day haul
justtracytrolling replied to killer_kerry27's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Otisco has been very good for bass and tigers, but the walleye action has been very inconsistent to be nice about it! Ive only had 1 skunk but not much of a pattern. I can find em no prob... catching is the hard part. We have had a lot of temperature fluctuations and a fast in my experience that is tough fishing. Last week upper mid 70s till Thursday this weekend under 70. -
