I have 12 different leadcore setups, all with tuffline micro lead that I use for walleye. I originally tried it because of the claimed deeper depth and mainly because I can fit 10 colors on a 30 size reel. I tested it out on a flat lake and found that I was getting 5 ft per color at 2mph, not the advertised depth of 6.5+. I have regularly hit bottom in 50ft with 10 colors out. Like everyone else stated it is very speed dependent, slow down and it goes deeper. Needless to say, I am very happy with the tufline micro and have no need to try anything else.

Its 5ft per color at 2 mph, at 2.5 mph its more like 3 or 3.5 ft per color. You may gain a little bit of depth with more line out but with 30 lb mono it wont be much due to the drag of the thicker mono. If your backing was braid you might gain a little more.

I am headed up to Olcott on Friday for a few days and was wondering how the fleas are. I would rather splice in heavier mono for my rigger rods before I leave if need be. Thanks Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Lost my trailer plate a couple months ago, it took about a week to get a new one through the mail. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
We were out there at the same time, i remember passing your boat a couple times. We had the same results, 1 fish. Disappointing after how good the bite was this past weekend. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I have a tandem axle trailmaster trailer under my fishmaster 196. The trailer is definitely not overloaded but two of the tires on one side of the trailer get more wear on the outside edges than the other side. Anyone have any idea why? Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
The website or app you are looking at has the arrows backwards. Every else I have ever looked has the arrow pointed in the direction that the wind is blowing. Take a look at the windfinder app, it has been really accurate for wind. I would disregard the temp and wave heights displayed though.
They dont need a license and they count as far as rods and limit go as long as you can justify that they can reel in their fish on their own. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Thats about what my buddies boat did with his Merc 115. His new Merc 150 will do 43 now. My yamaha F200 will do 49 with 2 guys and full tank, 45 with 4 guys, flat lake of course. I know my buddy is much happier with his upgrade, especially getting out of the hole. My first boat was underpowered and was a dog. I wasnt going to make the mistake again which is why I maxed out the HP on my new one. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I would try and find one with at least a 150 hp motor on it. I know 2 guys that started with 115' s on them and upgraded later. Max HP is 200 HP on the newer ones. For some reason most of the older ones were sold with 115's on them. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Total brain fart on my part. It never occurred to me to use it that way. My thoughts were to get rid of my longer cores and just switch to 5 color cores with snap weights ans long as i could determine the running depths with different lengths of backer out. Thanks
Any issues when using it with leadcore or copper? I wanted to buy one to check how deep my leadcores were running but decided against after learning that they timeout after 45 seconds. I dont think I can get the longer cores out in under 45 seconds to get an accurate reading. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I use a couple small plastic containers with foam cut to fit around the weights. Its cheap and works well. Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Looking for a couple more CV 20 reels or equivalent for my brown trout rods. Reels must be in good condition and have line counters, not looking for junk. Thanks Sent from my LM-G820 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
