how much leader do you  run on your copper  and were do you add weight if needed  also what should I run off it

[MTpockets]

I like a long leader 50ft min. Put the clip weight after the 400 is out

I got my copper set up from Tom Allen. Its a great reel and it all comes ready to go! He really helped explain the knots to use when your copper break. Amazing resource. http://www.atommiktrollingflies.com/

Give him a call and he will get you all set up.

I don't  understand add the weight clip after 400 is out bare with me im a green horn ive only been doing this a couple years . ibought a wire dipsy last year I think I got that figured out kind of lol Ive never used a  weight clip I don't even know what they look like

Attach the weight at the knot where the leader and copper meet. And I would probably say a 400 foot is the best bet. Good luck.

400 copper dont worry about the extra weight. it will take fish even without it
