Weighted Steel

[vetting]

So did anyone use the new Torpedo Weighted Steel line this year?  Any feedback?  I have 10 leadcore rods (1 through 10) and thinking about adding either copper or weighted steel to the mix next year.

I ran 300' of 60lb last year and I probably won't be buying anymore copper. Everyone who tried it definitely liked it.

The weighted steel handled and deployed much easier than copper, especially for any inexperienced users I had along.

Catch rates seemed similar to copper, not sure about how deep it got but will find out next year with a Smart Troll.

Only negative is that it is a little more difficult to rig up using adhesive heat shrinks instead of just a haywire twist but the connections are holding up ok and are plenty strong enough

Got a 200, and 300 of 45#. Caught a bunch of fish on it. 200 was one of my most productive rods, on Lake Mi, and Superior. Not one kink, and got one tangled real good with another line. Something that would have turned copper, or lead, for that matter into waste.
