twili tip with a braid line power pro 50 lb

[Gene Shenk]

Does anybody know if it would be ok to use a rod with a twili tip on it with power pro 50 lb or would it wreck the line??

[Schools Out]

i think it would be fine as long as both end of the wire in the twili tip could not touch the braid (you might have to some fine tuning with a pair of neddle nose pliers)

works fine been doining it for 6-7 years cuts the fleas off just like wire

Thanks guys I will get those set up for this weekend!!! I want to try and run 4 dipsys I have been reading enough about it now is the time to do it.

[ray koziatek]

please send pics of your 4 rod tangle ...i might suggest spen a few minutes as to best troll direction before deploying all dypsys then get set up in that direction for the 4rod run ....BUT the way the bite is now i realy feel you are asking for more work than fun.

Thanks Ray

You are more than likley right but with just 2 down riggers on the boat I thought there might be room. I thought I would put the DR's straight back and then run the first dipsy at a 1 to 1.5 setting and then run the second dipsy 3 to max setting. But when I tangle I will be sure to laugh thinking how bad you would be busting my balls and saying I told you so if you where on the boat with me. Thanks for all the input Ray and like you say if it is a little slow and I have good conditions that would be the time to try it especially becasue I dont have the widest beamed boat on the water.

hey Ray

Have you ever ran a set up with a dipsy set to 0 and ran it down the shoot. I guess I also could run some stuff off boards with some trolling weights on them as well. I dont have Lead or copper on board so I am just looking for some options to get more lines in the water.

Gene,

I spent a day on Lake Erie with my uncle and we were running 4 dipsys two traditional and two off of one planerboard. The planer board dipsys were the smaller ones set on 0 and out 145' on 30# power pro. They were running 45' down.

No ive never tried any setting other than 2.5 as i know exatly where my bait is. But i might break out my outriggers some day and make a mess back there

[motoman]

ive been running one down the center for my last four trips on a zero setting out 200 banging fish on left and right using power pro and my wires out the side on 2.5 settings

[Gene Shenk]

I didnt run 4 dipsys today but I ran 3 with 1 down the shoot on a 0 setting it work out well. The twilli tip and 50lb power pro worked great no real flea problems I think the wire may have grabbed more.

Hi!

I was thinking of trying some power pro 50 . If I put it on a 47 Diawa LC would I need backing ?

Thanks JT

I put about 10 ft. of mono under my braid just to get it started easily.
