What Size Line?

[Moby Dick]

I use 25# for dipsy divers, 17# for downriggers and have 8# on a light pole for surface lines.

For us we use the following...

Leaders on Planer Boards:

- 12lb fluoro for browns and cohos

- 20lb fluoro the rest of the year for kings, etc.

Dipseys/Slide Divers:

- 30 or 40lb 7 strand wire, 20lb fluoro leaders to spoons, 30lb fluoro leaders to flashers, also run slide diver on section of 30lb mono (for added stretch) between wire and leaders

Downriggers:

- 20lb mono

- 12lb mono rod occasionally goes in with a small spoon set deep and 100ft back in high sun, per the light line rig by Dan Keating http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2013/05/01/downrigger-twists-for-michigan-king-salmon-all-day/

Kevin, just read one of Keatings stealth articles in this month's addition of Great LAkes Angler Mag. Last Thursday in St Joe around noon it was slow so threw #12 line with spoon 89 down on rigger in 150flow, landed nice 12# Laker, boy that was fun on my walleye rod/reel, got shaker king on same rod..
