Best line for trolling Shad Raps/ Husky Jerks


rodmaker

Recommended Posts

Going to purchase a Shimano Tekota line counter reel for trolling Cranks (Raps & Husky Jerks). What type of line should I put on. confused.gif I guess something equivalent 10 lb test since most trolling guides use that.

I like fireline, because I can feel if they are running correctly, plus I get the strength with the smaller diameter to get deeper. You are moving fast enough that them seeing the line shouldn't matter. That's what I use, I will let you know that snags with fireline are a pain and practically rip the rod out of your hand so set your drag accordingly.

I like to use powerPro line in either 50 or 65 pound test, using a 12 pound mono leader for walleyes. Sometimes if I feel like going really deep, I use lead core with the mono leader. Usually I don't have to use lead core though as I use very heavy bottom bouncers and cranks with large lips.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
