It sounds like your line is bad. The copper works good, get a work glove
Anyone have a brand & # test they would reccomend?
Put a roller tip on your rod and your problem will be solved.
A friend of mine has a short stout rod with a big reel on it that looks kinda like a center pin fly reel. He said his Grandfather & father use to fish lead core off it; by slowing drifting / trolling along and jigging it. I spooled it with Lead core began moving along and "Pumping" the spoon, but the lead line kept snapping from the jigging? Anyone have any ideas on how to do this without constantly snapping the line. Maybe i'd be better off with copper wire??
