Spoons with dipsy

What lb line are you running from diver to spoon for kings? Snubber yes or no?

[sherman brown]

I use snubbers for walleye with braid and with the way kings act if I was still fishing for kings, I wouldn't fish without them. and I would use 40# premier seaguar Fluro leader for the line going to the lure.

No snubber and I run 30lb Seaguar floro as my leader.  Quality swivels also make a huge difference.

Same

[Yankee Troller]

No snubber and McCoy Flouro 100 20lb

as said by the others after thinking about snubbers for kings a guess with the much bigger hooks and their mouth being so much tougher than walleye there would be no need for snubbers. but i would still use a leader that wasn't as strong as the main line but i think their is just no reason to drop all the way to 20#. the seaguar premier fluro is much smaller than most if not all; other flouro leaders. i use 20# and the diameter is the same as 15#. so you can use 30# and probably be close to 20# diameter line. and with this new formula of fluro has the best knot strength on the market.

Same Here….I have used the Trilene 100% fluorocarbon for many years with no complaints. Actually, the only fluorocarbon I really couldn’t get along with is Vanish. It made a lot of lures and fish “Vanish” the couple times I tried it.

yeah, i tried 15# test on Erie's central basin a few yrs ago when large fish was the norm. the 1st day out we had 3 break offs. when we went in i went to Karren's shop in Geneva Ohio and bought seaguar premier leader in 20# just to be safe. and the breaks stopped and after yrs. of using it I haven't lost a fish because the leader broke. i have even had hooks (bad batch of hooks) on harnesses break and have the line on harnesses break after long use of them.

Suggestion for a couple options for ‘quality swivels’? Seems to be a lot of junk on the shelves around here lately…

Spro Power Swivels #8's are a nice size and rated for 50lbs

AFW makes a Micro Swivel too that works well.
