copper line

[hookemhard]

I have ran ten colours of led last year with no result, so I am thinking of going to copper but would like some questions answered. First one is what type of rod should I use with my lead I used a 8.6' MH Shimano Talora 15-30lb. with the copper would I need a rod with different guides. The other question I have is how many feet of copper should I put on the reel I heard that 400 feet is a good average love to now your opinion on this Thanks

That rod would work. No special guides needed. You will need 300 yds of 50lb power pro backing and a 400 is a very productive copper set up. MAke sure you have a reel big enough to handle all the backing and copper. I run a Penn 345 and the backing and copper fits with room to spare. Lots of guys buy a 600' copper and run it down the chute and let out enough copper for the depth they are fishing. If you buy one from A-tom-mik, you can get them marked every 50' (or 100, I can't remeber).
