I suppose I should have clarified that 90% of our fishing in QUETICO is jigging.  I was recently reminded that I have the luxury of a fantastic canoe partner both in fishing and boat control - which I completely took for granted.  (Of course he has the same luxury.)  This allows us to spend considerable time on structure, windy or not, and give an area a solid go of it.  Obviously, this has a huge bearing on line choice.

That's a very good point PJ. I'm enjoying the discussion on line weights/ line choices/ color, but for me tripping solo, you guys would laugh at my choices.

I just bought a new model med-heavy Gx2,  Ugly Stick one piece 7' to use as my "trolling rod" and have my reel spooled with #40 red PowerPro braid.

Any thoughts on "red" for a line color?

I want a set-up that will literaly slow/stop my canoe if I hang up.
I'm using this in conjuction with those ultra-thin titanium leaders KF sent me and I made myself.

My other 2 rods are spooled with either PowerPro braid or mono in the same weights/dimaeters you guys recommend.

Heading into the Q starting at Beaverhouse May 14-27.

I'm hoping the fish don't know what the "fishing guys" know and jump all over my offerings. ;) ;D
