wire
Wire can be tough to deal with. When I run trips up East ( central basin )I use 10 pound single strand wire. Its used to get crankbaits down. If you want to pull jets, use the 50 Tripz early , then late summer the fish are deeper. I run the cranks about 350' back and run 2.4 to 2.8 mph. The baits are about the size of a #12 Rapala, RR 800's and etc. The target depth is 45 to 52 foot down in 70-75 feet of water. Dipseys , I run on a braid line. Usually run 2 on each side of the boat. A #1 setting at 100-125 and #3 setting 170-190ft. When letting out lures on wire line, you must keep your thumb on the spool while paying out line ! Birdnests and wraps are very common. You will be untangling line out of your reels, so you will need a tool like a scribe to help. Do not get kinks in the line. The wire is only 10 pound and kinks can break the wire. Use a mono leader of 6 feet in front of the lure. You also would need to learn how to wrap/ splice the lines together. I suggest going down to a marina and talking with a captain who uses wire regularly. Just so you can see it and get a better idea. Need any other help just ask.
