45 copper lenght recommendations for kings


Recommended Posts

I ended up doing 300 and 250 on Okuma Coldwater 453DS reels, I actually measured out 300 feet of copper and when putting it on the reels the line counter was reading that I had 335 ft, so after doing the math, the 250 would need to read 280.

Okuma CW 453DS

300ft of copper= 335ft (665) on line counter

250ft of copper= 280ft  (720) on line counter

That's the way to do it.  The line counters work by assuming the reel is close to "full".  Copper adds so much bulk to the spool that the counters aren't accurate.

Remember you can use shorter lengths with a simple snap on torpedo to get extra depth. I use one on my 150’ cu to mimic the depth of a 300.

Just wondering, when you run the snap on type weights with weighted line, do you put it on leader end near lure, or rod end on backer? I've just started running lead line and have played with snap weights a couple times.

I would think you’d put it on your backer.
