melsell Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I am converting my wire dipsey to a shorter rod so I can run a wire and braid on the same side.So now my long rod has a twilli on it.So the question is will this mess up my powerpro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog71 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 No the the twilli spring will not damage it. I run a twilli on a copper rod with a fireline backing and haven't had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayvillemark Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I dont know how short you plan on going but the longer the better when your talking wire mine are 10.5 fotters no stretch what so ever nothing gives on a wire rig except for the pole so you need alot of pole to take up the shock.

melsell Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 I was thinking 7 foot rods(thats what i have).I want to run my power pros as high divers on tens.Should I be running both ten foot rods?Then just stagger the dipsey settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdog71 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I run 7ft rods for my wire lines, 8.5ft rods for long lines. I haven't had any issues with them. It is harder to land a fish with a 8ft leader with a flasher/fly combo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayvillemark Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 http://www.fishingrodstuff.com/twili_tip.html This link shows a picture of a twili tip you glue it in place of the last eye on the rod so it doesnt kink the wire or copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
