muskegon 9/20

wanted to get one last trip,went out to 178 fow and found some breaks and set lines.Ended up near whitehall and had a rough ride back to musk.went 8 for 12 ,6 kings and two steel heads.185 fow was the best with the slider on the riggers doing the best down 80ft. green monkey puke the best and nbk the next.10 color caught 1 and lost 1.And 250 cp also had a couple on.

Does anyone have any idea how far down a slider slides down to to ball?

I've always heard it's half way down...if the riggers at 80', the slider would be around 40'

Thanks for the report! I always wondered the same thing- maybe half the distance??

It sounds like the fish where 40-60' down. Nice job.

i think theres too many factors involved in figuring where youre sliders at..theres arc in the line and its more towards the release than the center line ..also the arc size depends on everything from speed to how tight you load the rod..i always run a fixed slide about 6 ft above the main line
