Braid lasts for years. Cut off 20 feet per year just because. You will never gets stabbed by a stray wire strand with braid.
You ever noticed how stainless crab traps have anodes? Not there for the looks.UUMMMM electrolysis from wire ??? thats a new one never heard of that before.....
Lol thats wonderful, i used to commercially troll sockeye and even with a wood boat we always grouded the lines back to an anode because of the charge put off from the stainless lines. Stainless wire, brass crimps and line stops, lead ball. Must be all imaginary. Unless you know of anyone using wire on their riggers with different hardware that is the setup.UUMMM yes i used to commercial crab for a living and it was dissimilar metals . you have bare metal as in rebar and stainless steel and salt . thats why it corrodes if your going to educate me on something first know what you are talking about ok.
You really have no clue .
We are taking about downrigger cable not traps and there is no corrosion issues using cable ask any old time commercial fisherman they used OTHER metals to lower voltage current on a boat which is created one way.
All i use is braid now, works awesome. But yes our sport is being ripped away from the people that fund it and care about it and the whiney assholes that made it happen will now turn their back on the cause and band wagon on the next.totally prawn just saying thats all , I am agreeing with you and you guys would never use braid would you....
I really dont care what you use its a mute point now isnt it as fishing is done for on our coast and its gonna get worse before better. will only have a month to go after a spring now really so fish away and enjoy what we have
I’m not saying there is no truth to this electric current business but I know people put to much emphasis on it thats for sure. I was watching an episode of Nice Fish a while back and Gary had some guest on some old comercial fisherman. They went through the whole electrolysis issue, they had the meter out and the whole nine yards. Buddy drops the meter in next to the boat and gets a reading what ever it was next they drop it way back of the boat ( it was on a long cable ) they get the same reading 100’ back of the boat and they are like see, it goes a long ways back. That’s where I call bull ****. If this were true then how the heck would anybody catch fish on some of the busy fishing spots out there. Look at Sooke for instance, look at Otter Point, Secutary on busy days there’s 100 boats crammed on those points in close proximity to each other, crammed on each other man. Are you going tell me every one of those boats are tuned in, none have bad ground all are running black boxes. If electrical current is created from lines running through the water the fish would get electrocuted and float to the top on some of those points when it’s busy, like really. No one would be catching fish yet boats are constantly pulling fish out of the crowd of lines and boats. On top of all that we run plastic line through a plastic clip 25’ back from the cable that current will not travel through that line and again if the water was that charged from the cables no one would be catching fish in busy areas no one the fish would avoid those areas.
