Good video Nick! Being a Yooper myself I love watching all your videos. I recently tied up one of your SW Dipsey rigs and did it pay off!! We got a 26 lbser yesterday morning! We were down in Two Rivers and met Team Black Out at the launch. I'll try and share the pic of the fish we got to you. Keep up the good work on the videos. I'll keep watching.
With this method you don't even need line counters. You just run line out until you reach the mono andes leader wire for the planner correct? Please let me know your input.
What's the advantage's of using a Copper Line set-up for Great Lake's trolling that you can't achieve with lead core, snap weight's, dipsy diver's or down rigger's to desired depth's that you want your bait's to run? If that first 75 foot set-up that you rigged would of roughly got you 20 feet down in the water column using a planner board running a set-up with a snap weight/mono/fluorocarbon or lead core using spoon's would achieve the same depth.
From what I know I don't think that they have many advantages to snap weights other than not having to physically take them off while fighting a fish. All of them are just techniques to get more lines in the water while being away from the motor traffic. All about getting the most amount of rods in the water for many people who fish in tournaments I think.
You would have to go back twice as far with leadcore line to achieve the same depth. Plus the copper line has a different sound going though the water. Some days the fish like wire line baits other days they like the leadcore and so forth. Or maybe they are just really boat shy and want it as far away from the boat as possible. Who really knows??? I know that the copper rods catch a lot of fish for me and my friends so we keep using them.
Nick, I enjoy your videos. What type of camera are you using when recording your videos? I am building a website and will be adding vids to my RUclips channel, and I appreciate your video quality. Thanks in advance for your help.
The copper line is good to go every year until damaged by kinks and tangles. Leadcore is also really tough and I would not worry about it unless you leave it in the sun for months or it's damaged from tangles? I was worried about the old backing on the reel that was shown in this video.

That is great to hear. Thanks for the feedback. Congratulations on a awesome fish!!!😁
Great video thanks
The shorter leader makes the Dodger & fly react better. Just like on a rigger
Good to know

Yes that is correct the reels don't need counters with copper or leadcore set ups

A lot of folks believe the copper gives off an electric field in the water picked up by the fishes lateral line
have you ever had problems with this reel spool disengaging from the handle and drag while under load?
No but I have had drag issues with the Convectors where the drag is still tight even when the star is loose.

What is the purpose for using cooper line ?
It sinks into the depths. 200 feet of copper will put your lure around 50ft deep at a 2mph troll speed.
Thanks for the video. How often do you need to replace copper and leadcore?
The copper line is good to go every year until damaged by kinks and tangles. Leadcore is also really tough and I would not worry about it unless you leave it in the sun for months or it's damaged from tangles? I was worried about the old backing on the reel that was shown in this video.
Is that how you do leadcore too?
Yes but I use Willis knots for connecting leadcore to the mono lines.
@@NoFishNicksAdventures ok thanks.
Nick how long was the mono for your board ?
I use about 15 -20 feet for the planer board section.
Thanks Nick
cant you just put a taser on the fishing rod to paralyze the fish because its a copper line
Giver hell nick
