[QUOTE="Loebs lake cabin, post: 228523, member: 1239"] I agree with the post above. I've been trolling for 25 years and running lead for most of that time. I can run baits from 5' to 50' without changing anything and anyone that spends time on anyone of the Missouri River reservoirs will tell you how much these fish can move from one break line to the next. Anything over 40' and I usually switch to snap weights just takes to long to let 170' plus feet of lead out and it's tough following sharp contours with that much line out. I run suffix 832 which runs 30% deeper with the same amount of line out vs other lead lines. I spool new line on every year because the suffix does kink easily but it's much more efficient than any other lead lines I've used. As far as rods I run the scheels trolling rods, good rods for the money and the return policy is priceless imo. I ran the daiwa sealines for one year and two out of the 4 barely lasted one year, switched over to the tekota's and they're the best trolling reels I've ever used, twice as much money but well worth it. I do run mono on some reels but those are just for the setups I run boards on. Lead is hard on reels so a good high quality reel is a must or they just don't last. Best advice I can give a new troller is, just get a few setups and go out and do it, no different than any other technique, you get good through practice! [/QUOTE]
