copper line

[Guest jimbuoy]

Can someone fill me in how to fish with copper line? Thanks in advance for the help.

I like to run 40 pound copper right down the middle with a j-plug about 250 feet back. I also have been running copper backed with mono of various lengths off planer boards. Like 200 feet of copper backed with mono off port board. Be sure to attach the mono to the board and not the copper. Run the same off starboard side with say 200 feet of copper backed with mono. I like to back with mono so I dont need mondo sized reels. You can run more copper setups like this off big boards if you have them. Just vary your copper lenghts to cover more of the water column. Hope this helps.
