Copper

[Were Locked!]

I'm new to the copper world, I've got the pole set up with 450 ft.power of pro and 450 ft of copper, how much leader do I use off the copper and how far out do I send it. Depth per feet, and what type of lures. Like I said, totally lost with this outfit. Any help would be appreciated

I run 25-30 feet of flouro off my setups.  Sink rate is approx. 22' per 100.

Practice swearing a lot first. There is a learning curve that's frusterating

45# copper will achieve depths of 20-22' per 100' out at speeds of 2.2-2.4 and with that being said a 450' copper will get you down around 90-100'. You can run everything on coppers. spoons, plugs, paddles, spin doctors. For flashers (big and small) i run 35' of 30# fluoro and for spoons i run 55' of 20# fluoro.

Just like everything else there is a learning curve. A big thing is to deploy the copper slow for the first 50' so it doesnt backlash.
