Line choices

[hermit]

Last year (first year trolling) I ran all mono (20 lb Ande and Fleaflicker) and it was fine until I started letting out lots of line, then I hated the stretch. Just bought a huge spool of 50 lb PowerPro to rig everything with this year. "Everything" is dipseys and the like, I don't have downriggers. I'm either going to use snubbers or else be cheap and run 50-100 foot mono "pre-leaders" to take the shock. Like a leadcore setup I guess.

I used some fluoro leaders (Seaguar Inviz-x) last year, also Spiderwire XXX mono, didn't really notice a difference, both worked great. I think with modern manufacturing checking your knots, leaders, and drags is more important than which exact line to use... just my opinion though.

I use the same set-up as I use for pickerel..............

Lets see, I 'll try and keep it simple. I use Berkley 12lb Big Game clear for trout & walleye year round for rigger & boards, (plugs, spoons, dodger/flasher ) - (except) when the fleas start. I have extra rods with 20lb Flea Flicker ready to go and just use those setups when needed.

30lb seven strand wire for the dipsey. I do have 2 rods with Tuf-Line XP for dipsey's on Oneida cause max depth there is about 50' and no fleas. Even though the super lines don't stretch, there is a lot of bow in the line when your trying to get down real deep and that is almost the same effect as stretch plus the fleas just love that line .\

I've run Maxima for years. Only problem I have with it is cost.
