Yes i guess my post was misleading.
Im not replacing my full core or copper, Im asking what new ones i should get?
Should i go with 2 more cores? Say a 5 color and a 3 color? or a 7 color instead of the 3?
Or should i get a short copper? Theres jus so many possibilities my heads spinning.
I'd start by adding rods that will be far from what you already own. In other words, have big gaps in depth achieved. So if it were me, I'd go with a 5 color or 300' of 45lb copper.

The new giant 44's pull like a dream. They plane much further out to the sides of the boat with a load of core or copper than a walleye board ever will. For anyone that is considering trying them, I highly recommend you do!
-
last 2 times out I have been batting like Inge. Gonna get sent down to the minors if I keep this up!!
Good one Jeff!
-
Yup, one of each. I'd start at 200' to fill the gap in your current assortment. Expand from there.
-
Yes i agree with mark, we go from smaller spoons move to stingray size spoons then to flashers and few plugs, by the end of season its all big flashers and plugs with no spoons.
Same here.

Bloody nose & happee meal.

I also use the Palomar knot for all connections to swivels. I use the Albright knot for leadcore.
Exact same program here too. I use Trilene big game 20lb for riggers. Good line at an inexpensive price. I get it at Walmart.
-
Sounds like bad line to me. The albright is a pretty easy & strong knot. I use it on all my copper rods.

I bought a label maker at rite aid and put a label on each reel.
Same here. Works well.

It is the Size and the number of Fish... not the size of the boat.
Amen brother.

This is a question I have had as well. So are you guys saying you've had better luck trolling into, with or across the currents?
Every day is different for me. Find what they want by experimenting. Once it's narrowed down, stick to it until it quits working!

We don't get the coho's in spring up my way like they do in the southern end of the pond. With that said though, I do better on thin fins than on brads. As stated above, thin fins don't have a rattle but they do have some more realistic color patterns available that I really like to run.
-
I thought I'd be fun to see what everyone's boats look like. Besides, it'll make it easier to recognize each other out on the pond.
Here's mine.
-
Small snap, not a swivel though.
-
The longer rods help get outside your riggers like Aaron said, they also allow you to use a longer leader off your diver and still be able to net fish.
Yep. Nailed it.

Great pix!

This past year I tried to run my 300' of copper off of my walleye boards and the board would hardly drag that far out and the board would almost be buried underwater, is this really to much weight for the walleye board to handle?

Did you try moving the adjustable counter weight on the bottom of the board? This will make a big difference. We run 300' of 45lb off walleye boards with no problem.
-
Change my monos every other year. My power pros have never been changed and are 8-9 years old. Change my cores once I get a tangle that can't be fixed.
Same here.
-
Copper and lead are stealth presentations. I like to keep them at least 150' back from the board. So my program consists of lead up to 5 colors, then I switch to 150' of (45lb) copper up to 300'.
So in a nutshell, I like your idea.
-
I have bought heartlands beofore and know they are a decent rod but the price on them is now more than the shimano TDRs. So in looking at a couple new rods for the boat i am considering the wilderness rods or the tdrs. I would like to hear opinions on these two rods please.
Both are good. I run both.
-
I am going to retie all of my fly leaders. What length do you guys use for 8" SD's and Pro-Trolls and 11" paddles?
I like a lot of "whip" to my flies. Behind an 8" spin doctor I run an 18" leader to the head of the fly.
-
In my experience I've found longer leads for sliders lead to more tangles. I try to keep my slider leads under 5', and usually run them around 3'.
-
Part of leadcore's seductive appeal is it's ability to "snake" through the water. With a shorter leader, you're transferring much more of the leadcore's movement to the business end of the presentation. On more than one occasion I've cut back my leader during a trip (especially if theres some wave action) and immediately begun to see improved results.
20-25' leader for me.
