Copper

[C3M]

If you were looking to set up 2 copper rigs (to be run off inlines) what lengths would you label as "must haves"?

Looks like the consensus is 45# over 32#.

Thanks for your opinions!

300' is a must have. It will catch all season.  400' is good in summer when the thermocline gets pushed deep and 200'  is good for spring and fall.  With that being said I have been successful running anywhere from 100' to 600' all season depending on conditions. If I had to pick just two it would be 300' and 200'  and then a 400` as soon as possible

Perfect - Thank you!

Yeah I like those too. 300' and 400' are good choices

Are you lake Ontario only or do you fish finger lakes aswell? If you fish finger lakes occasionally i second the 300 and 200. If you're lake o only the 300 and 400 are my vote

Im a Lake O guy only. Im going to get a 300 and 400 set up then. I do have a spare Penn 330 GTI which I will try for the 300'.

 

Is convector 55 is the most common entry level reel used reel for a 400'?

Yes, the 55 is good for 250-450'

Thanks - the length of copper/backing chart for each reel type you originally posted on another thread is very helpful!

My 2 most productive coppers are the 300 and 500.  I run Atommik 45# copper.

A Penn 330 will fit 300' 45# copper with 300yds 30# braid backer great.  This weekend, I squeezed in 200yds 40# braid backer and 350' 45# copper on Penn 330.  It's tight, but doable.

Awesome good to know. I order a 300' segment last night so I will lace that up and see how it goes. 350' would be great If I can make it work!

Yep 300 definitely, then my second would be a 450 I think if I had to choose
