question on lead core setups

[fishkiller16]

Pap, Your catch rate will double if you stop running the lead core that way. What your doing is completely eliminating the action of the lead core line by running it that way. it cant freely move around in the water column.

IMO, all leadcore on the reel plus 75' - 100' of backing should be in the water. Capt. Don Ruppert just held a great seminar on leadcore fishing at the last STWA meeting. http://wavetamersportfishing.com/index.html I use Mono backing but may switch to 30Lb power Pro Braid, braid takes up much less space on the spool.
Leadcore fishing comes down to lot's of reels but not as many rods, I swap reels as the season progresses to deeper fishing.

Ahh I see your point, the entire set up should be in the water. Wow if I have as good of luck the way I'm using it that should really improve things. Thanks for the heads up. PAP

Anchor Wheel. Very interesting. I was only putting out a few ft of backer into the water. My concern was that if you run the lightest line on the outside ( by my past reasoning ) would also be the shortest. If / when you caught a fish on it it would tangle the line next to it becaust the next lines should be longer. I'm talking off big boards here. BUT say I have 2 color out first then a 3 color and a 5 color out on the same side if I put them out all the same distance theoretically that should work.????
What's your thoughts? I know you run small boards but what do you think?
Fishkiller what do you think? You can tell me the secrets of lead core seeing the tournament is practically over due to the weather.
