The 500 copper was always my least favorite.
lots of reeling , especially with a big king 🤪
Yup, once I got downriggers I never fished more than 3 colors on the leadcore. And then my buddy would laugh at me when he was catching at 8 colors on the lead and I couldn't buy a fish on the riggers.
SWR Mac. Works like a charm.
The lead core imparts a slow up/down rhythm action to the lure Geoff.Try this, and I'm sure some out there are going to give me crap about it.Tie 2-3 colors onto a downrigger rod and send that down.You get to use the rigger, which I also like, but still get some of that lead core action on the lure.Charter captains have been doing this for a while now.Remember that things are now running UNDER the ball.Good luck.
