Spoonfeeder question...
40 trutrips back 35-50.
Went out on Saturday west and north of Kellys... used bottom bouncer and weapons in 25-35 ft and caught white perch and sheephead...
Waiting out Sunday's wind and waves... will be out again on Monday and Tuesday hopefully with the right baits in my 19 footer
thx

I'll try to help.....when he says trutrips, those are jet divers that have a trip release. That is what most of us use these days. The 35 to 50 is the amount of line that is let out from the planer board to the jet diver.
I should add that the 40 trutrip is the depth model of jet diver, they come in 20, 30 and 40 and relate to the depth they are disigned to dive with a set amount of line let out. You can change the depth by changing the amount of line you let out. See a dive chart for accuracy.Last edited by Eyezcrazy; 05-12-2013 at 11:45 AM. Reason: additional info

thx for the quick reply eyecrazy and spoonfeeder...
Stopped at the tackle store in Port Clinton near the Jet boat... the guy at the register was helpful. Bought some Stinger spoons in some colors I saw mentioned here and heavier bottom bouncers... 3 and 4 oz. I saw the Jet Divers, so I know now what you are talking about. I left my planer board mast and boards at home, as I did not think I needed them at this time of year. I will pick up a couple of Jet Divers Monday morning. I will let you know how I did Monday night... hopefully the wind will let up for my small boat.
thx again
Roger
