How long of leader?
« on: Jun 26, 2007, 08:30 PM »
I have a couple trolling rods, 9', with 17lb line on them that I use with the dipseys, planer boards, and downriggers.  How long of leader and what lb would you guys recommend?  I have heard 300', 100', 30', and so on.  Any ideas?  I mostly troll for walleyes on Lake Erie.

The length you give are how far back to troll
For salmon, lakers,and rainbows I run 6' of 6# Vanish and it works well for me
Good luck

If the rule is 5 fish or 5 pounds, what if the 5th fish weighs 5 pounds?
