We got 4 Saturday, one was 29" and 7 lb. Wind was bad, was out deeper, guess I should have been in closer we were in 50' and got all on blue renosky and blue jointed rap off riggers. Going out Friday hoping the wind isn't as bad.

Joes spot I have 27 lb but also use it on Ontario for Salmon and haven't had issues but if it's just for eyes then 18lb should be fine. I do change the leader and have 20 ft of 12 fluorocarbon but change to 20 lb for salmon. For knots I put the flouro inside the sheath of the leadcore after taking out some lead and have 2 overhand knots then have one on either end of the leadcore and leader. Guess it's called a willis knot link below.

Yup it's goofy. It's probably the 4th or 5th fish caught on that rig. Now I have to send it back to Eagle Claw and get it replaced. I'll put the okuma from that stick on an Ugly Stick, my fav.

you should replace all those Eagle Claw rods with Okuma deadeyes or blue diamonds. If you buy multiples I'll cut you a deal. Call me at 7167965372

i am putting a lead core outfit together what lb lead core do most of you guys use/ length of mono/swivel or knot to mono thanks joe

Hey Joe we usually run 27lb leadcore and 50 to 75 ft leaders it just gives good action oyhers run less but its how i was shown so i stick with what works. The knot is an insertion knot peel back about 6 inches of the sheathing on leadcore snip out the lead and make one loop in that line and roll it up out of the way a little. Then insert mono till it touches lead inside sheath and roll loop back down to about an inch from the end of sheathing and pull it tight. Swivels are torpedo brand.

. Mono backer, sometimes I use power pro braid for backer, takes up less space on the spool, but more costly to set up.

Joe. Here's just a thought. I bought a few reels. And had a few other reels spooled up by Fishkiller. Price wise it comes out the same. Rather than trying to figure out how much line you will need. You can tell him how many colors you need and he'll take care of it. He buys in bulk and spreads out the cost.
