20lb test copper trolling wire Made in the USA specifically designed for open water and river trolling scenarios, flatlined or run off planer boards. Walleye Copper Trolling Wire from Blood Run is a nickel/tin coated stranded copper wire designed to achieve greater depths with less line out than leadcore. One of the most significant advantages of the stranded twist copper wire from Blood Run is it's pliability and user-friendly design. With smooth payout and small diameter, segments of up to 300 feet fit easily on small sized level wind reels most often used by Walleye trollers.
Most walleye copper fisherman will rig multiple rods with proven segments and run them in succession off inline and large ski planer boards. Shallow water fisheries such as Green Bay, Saginaw Bay, Mississippi River and West Basin Erie tend to run short segments of 20 to 65 feet with crawler harnesses, crankbaits and small walleye spoons. East Basin Erie, Bay De Noc, open water Lake Huron and Midwest reservoirs favor longer setups of 150 to 300 foot segments to target suspended walleye feeding in the 30 to 60 foot range.
Most savvy Walleye Copper fishermen will rig multiple linecounter reels with the same length copper segment, and let out additional braid backer material measured by the linecounter reel in order to drop baits back to a lower depth.
Designed for pulling shallow and deep running stickbaits for suspended walleyes, crawler harnesses and mini spoons. Pinpoint trolling depth and angle with more accuracy than leadcore!
