Darn re-tuning!

Those gosh-dang ReefRunner's really don't work good at all, .....I'll take ANY that are not needed by you guys!

Just order some of the long shallow and short shallow. How deep do these dive lets say with 100ft of 12lb test at a speed of 2.5mph?  Specs say 1-7 feet which is a wide range.

The dive deeper than rapalas 6 to 7 ft at 2 mph.

You will want to run them shorter than you would run a Thunderstick or even a rapala. 75' is good if fishing 8 fow.

We run 15lb mono with a 20' 10lb Fluoro leader in the Spring. We bang bottom in 7' with this line set-up 100' back. I keep them on my outside board when I'm on the shoreline.

 

The bright stuff, specifically the orange and red, will be dynamite for Spring Coho up West!

I decided to try a couple and can honestly say so far this season the glow green frog and standard green frog for me has taken more hits (nearly 3 to 1) over any other of my lures.  im on the East end. I have the Orange and "High School" also ready for when the Coho Show up

[FISHIN AGAIN?]

We have run a few and they do run a little deeper than Rapalas and 3 have found the bottom fish.

If you run them the same distance as your J9s or jr thundersticks in 8 fow you WILL donate some. I learned that the hard way too. ðŸ˜

75' is a good distance in 8-10 fow and in 12-15 you can stretch it back to 120.

If you absolutely HAVE to run them way back in shallow water use a float to keep them up higher.

You can always go with a heavier main line to help float them higher too. A lot of the Rochester boats run 20-30lb mainline for Spring Browns. I don't like it because the thicker the line the more wind it catches.

What size are you guys running? I ordered some and the smaller ones look too small but the longer ones look short. I am comparing these to bomber long A and storm Jrs.

I've been running the Short Shallows. With my line set-up (15lb main/10lb Fluoro leader) I can hit bottom in about 7' back 80'. No reason the long ones wouldn't work.

For some reason the guys on the east end (Oswego-Mexico) like the long shallows for Browns. Rochester and west the short shallows seem to work better.

Thanks Rich, I like looked at their specs and the shorts are about 1/4" shorter than the storm Jrs. That might be why I think they look short.

Yeah I fish Sodus or further east towards the St. Lawrence, I generally run all the standard lengths never any shorts.
