How do you rig a wire for trolling?
The strongest and most reliable rig is to twist the wire line onto a number 12 barrel swivel. Below the swivel, tie on a 4-foot leader of 20-pound test Seaguar fluorocarbon line, and attach the lure. This setup will reach the depth of 35 feet when trolled behind 320 feet of 12 pound stainless wire.
Why do people troll with wire lines?
Now there’s no downrigger line to clear, no heavy sinker or planer on the line to complicate things – just a straight-through unencumbered wire line between the reel and the fish.Trolling with a greater length of wire than this tends to be counterproductive, as the cumulative drag causes the line to plane back up.
What is steel fishing line used for?
It is kink and abrasion resistant and ideal for both fresh and saltwater trolling. The high strength of 300 series stainless steel results in a small diameter per pound test providing greater reel capacity. Great for reaching Stripers and other fish in deep waters.
What is a slide diver for fishing?

How far behind the boat should I troll?

What is a wire line rod?
Wire line rods you buy online are used for salt water fishing. The nice thing about wire line is that it weighs more than mono line or braid line, but it is also thinner.Because wire line weighs more, they sink easier, and there’s no need for heavy sinkers to bring them all the way down to the bottom.

Do Wire Leaders Scare Fish? As many leaders are coated or come in dark, low visibility colors, they do not seem to scare the fish you target.
Should I use a leader when fishing?
Leader lines are also necessary for baitcasting and spinning gear to prevent line twist when using certain lures and reduce line visibility. Many of the bass pros I have fished in recent years now rely on thin braided line with a fluorocarbon leader when fishing finesse baits with a spinning reel.
