hey guys. im getting all my gear straightened out for my big trip out to the west side of haidi gwaii. with the huge fish numbers expected this year I want to get rid of the inline flashers and go with dummies. im trying to decide on the set up to go with. I have old style electrics with long booms. I have used the tuna cord set up to get rid of the stopper beads and liked it. out at the charlottes my game plan is hopefully use plugs and spoons most of the time but may go to bait if the bite is slow. if really slow i can try with the inline flashers.
how would this set up work or can you guys suggest something better.
braid tied to cord to act as stop. about a 5 ft section of cord tied to heavy duty barrel swivel. off bottom of swivel another section of cord to snubber and ball. off the back of the swivel a 48inch release connected to swivel with conector sleeve and no snap. dummy flashers off balls when running bait. pull the flashers off and use the same releases for plugs and big spoons.
I like the idea of no stopper beads but don't like the 4 knots this would have. I find the stacker clips a bit of a pain in the butt. i have read lots of set ups on here but not a lot of setups that are built for dummy flashers.
i have read about the set up with 2 long pieces of mono as well that would also work for this application as well im guessing. i have some 150 pound leader material but not sure if it would be strong enough. please pick apart my thinking and give me your thoughts.
