@RussellsFishingTech goes over Copper or Weighted Steel 101. He talks about the rods, reels and line used fo these setups. Russell even goes over the boards used.
Russ 2 questions on copper 1 what method are you joining backing and leader to you copper Spro swivel or knot and if a knot what knot do you prefer? 2 I have been using the Sam’s pro releases on my boards and have trouble with the braid cutting into the rubber on the pin. Are the rubbers available and what do you think I’m doing incorrectly? Great info to compare notes with in you videos! Thanks CJ
Is the Bloodrun weighted steel a multistrand wire or a single strand type? I've been using Masons 30lb and 45lb multistrand wire for many years and was wondering if you know the how the diameters and "springiness" of the Bloodrun compares with the Mason stuff for how it behaves on the reel? Thanks and best regards, Andrew
Why do they call it waited steel and waited copper when there’s no weight in them why don’t they just call them copper and steal there’s no lead in the middle it’s not like lead core thank you would like an answer
Thank you. This is why I keep shopping at the Reel Shot.
good info sir thanks
Thanks for the info I fish lk superior up by bayfeild area but I still try to take lnfo and adapt to our conditions rod and reel set up is crucial
Never had a issue spooling my own with a reel spool calculator and clamp on rod line counter
The little bit of whipping up and down and current movement of braided steel is responsible for more bites than not from my experience.
200 ft weighted steel with 50lb braid backing any idea how much braid it will take. Thanks
Another great video....👍👍👍👍👍
How long copper do I need to get down to 100ft?

What pound rating weighed steel line do you recommend ?
what reel do I need. Left hand
With a CW 453D, how much weighted steel do you put on this reel and how deep will I be able to fish with this set up on this reel?
225 is as much as I like to go on that model and about 50ft
@@RussellsFishingTech thanks Russel! I was hoping I could get down to the 80’s.
While running the copper line how would a set of Big Jon otter boards work?
Works ok for 1 copper
How do u keep ur bords on ur backing
Or-16 relased double wrapped
What depth does a 100ft copper sink to?
25ft
Hi @RussellsFishingTech how much braid backing do you recommend on a CV 45d with 200 steel ? TIA!
250 yards of 50#
Why cant you take the plastic inserts out of the guides?thanks👍👍
They will be sharp and cut the line 🤙
In a pinch, the OR12 can pull a 300’ copper. Especially when you leave the maga in the truck😆
Cmon Russel, where’s the walk through?

I believe cause it’s in the “weighted line” category
