  1. Never had a split ring fail but i do check the first arm span of the leader everytime for nicks and will re tie or replace as needed. Also check hook point/ points and touch up with file as needed. Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  2. If you add a location to your profile someone in your area might be able to show you their setups or give you a demonstration even. Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  3. Keep it simple. I would run 2 manual downriggers. One dipsy diver off each side and a leadcore or copper off each side. I would have a 5 color lead and a 150 or 200 32lb. Copper. You can cover all the depths easily and have a good chance of catching fish. You dont need linecounter reels for lead/copper or downrigger. I would run braid divers with linecounters so you can be repeatable in your presentation. Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  4. Outdoorsman pro shop in jenison carries it as well Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
  5. If you scroll down it has yards as well. And a chart to cross reference diameters. The first inputs would be backing then braid would be the second. You can play with the numbers to see how much braid will fit woth different backing numbers Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

  10. It could have been.I thought the same thing at first. It had more green in the coloring and the tail is a little different. It did hit the 5 color and jump like crazy. It would be my biggest at 14+ lbs. I never really gave it a good second look just whipped it on the table and cut it up. Sent from my SM-G920P using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App

Had a double in 102 fow. 21 lb king on wire diver on 1.5 180 back chartreuse meat rig and 14 lb king on 5 color with mixed veggie. Trolled north south in 90-100 fow for another couple hours and had another double on rigger down 80 on chrome spinny and green meat rig and same wire diver as before out 166. Both were 17-18 lb kings. Headed for the pier heads and marked fish into 75 fow with no takers so we pulled lines and boogied at about 845.
