Re: BC Lake trolling rod/reel setup
Kinbasket: flasher/hootchie 50 ft, 1.8-2.5 mph has been best recipe last 3 early springs'. Any flasher that rotates, 20# test leader @ 38-42", purple haze cuttlefish with a green or blue double glow splatterback octopus hootch stuffed inside. Use quality stainless swivels and the cuttlefish should spin while rotating with flasher. Lyman/tomic plugs on surface or 1-2oz always get a few fish too.
The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..
