Title: Re: Lures for Lakers
Post by solotripper on Jul 2nd, 2017 at 9:56pm
Thanks PJ,
I use a 7 ft Ugly Stik GS2 medium heavy 1 piece as my trolling rod.
I use a spinning reel with #40 PowerPro (mono #10) because being solo, I got tired of breaking line/losing lures if I hit a snag and couldn't react fast enough.

Now unless I have a tailwind, the lure either pulls free or the canoe stops and I can go back and retrieve my lure. Haven't lost a lure since I made this switch.

I suppose I'm losing fish with the heavier line but then fishing isn't my main goal anyway.
