Re: lead core vs wire -- rod set up and usage

The old fisherman
Dad and I used to fish Squam with braided stainless steel lines with a large Davis spiner and a smelt.
We even caught some fish. (before sonar and downriggers)
We bounced it off the bottom, and lost less equipment than Big John does now.

Good luck in the derby.


Ouch, some other quotes of late by Lou and other friends:
"We have fished with Big John with multiple lines and have been skunked".
Old Fisherman

"I fished with Big John 8 to 10 hours without a bite"
Salmon Stalker

Many other quotes I can't remember or by who,LOL...

I do loose allot of gear, lol and do get Squamed (skunked) lots of times. But I do catch BIG fish too. My motto, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" lol.

I can' wait to get Squamned (skunked) or loose gear again, counting the days.

Hey John, I've got a pretty good feeling that a lot of those big fish were caught on the days you were "Squamed" lol

Re: lead core vs wire -- rod set up and usage

I use to fish Squam with me Dad back in the early 60'when I was just a youngster... I always thought something was wrong because we spent more time hung up on the bottom than fishing... know I understand why the place is an underwater rockpile !
You need an onboard tackle shop like Big John so you can replace equipment faster than you lose it...
