copper line help

[steelfire]

Ok,

I ordered my first copper set up from attomik, whats the best way to run it. Can you run the flashers and flys with it or is it mostly for spoons???? :?:

u can run it down the chute or off boards. Spoons will achieve 22' per 100' let out and flasher/fly combos will achieve 20' per 100' let out at 2.7 SOG. i like to run a 600 down the chute so I can change depths with it.

Thanks yankee troller! one more question, How much leader should i use in front of the lure/flashers and what pound test do you use??? Thanks again.

Right now I am using 25lb test McCoy Mean Green. There isnt a line counter on my Penn 345 so I made 10 passes. I think it is well over 100' long, which is fine. I would say as long as you got 100' your doin well. If you are using the spro swivels like Ernie used make sure you always check to make sure the copper is still wound tightly. If the end starts to stand up it will nick your line. There is another knot you can use and I plan on having team Screamer show me since they use it.
