5 colors

[MANIAC]

I want to rig up a 5 color core setup this year. I have an extra SG47LC laying around, a rod, and the core. Just need to get the PP backing. How will 5 colors and 30 lb PP fit on a 47 ?

Eric,From an article on core from GLA the Diawa SG47LC is a good choice for up to 5 colors.Listy goes as follows...........

Shimano 700 - 800 10 to 20 colors

Shimano Charter Special 2000 up to 5 colors

Okuma CV45D up to 10 colors

Cabelas DepthMaster Gold DMG45 up to 10 colors

Diawa SG47LC up to 5 colors

Pfluger Contender 30G up to 7 colors

Penn 330GTI up to 10 colors

Penn 345 GTI up to 20 colors

Maniac, we run our 5 color cores on the Okuma Classic 450L. We have them set up with 300 yards of backing, 5 colors of core, and leader with more than enough room. We usually pick ours up at Gander Mountain I beleive that they are 30 bucks a peice?? They have held up very well taking many fish throughout the year, including a few kings in the fall.

Do you use a Willis Knot to attach core to braid backing? Or do you do a double uni or similar? I think I might reload braid on as backing on my 3s and 5s.

I run mono as backing on mine, so Willis is not an issue.

We typically use an Albright knot to tie the braid backer to the core.

willis knot with power pro backing. i've never had a problem feeding the pp into the sheath.
