I'm no expert on the subject but I'll tell you what I know.
The best way to learn fishin wire is to have someone show you or things can get pretty ugly. As you know that technic works great when water temps are up and fish are deep. If I remember correctly, for every foot of dept=10 of wire, most spool with 300ft. I also use two rod lengths of mono leader to witch is seperated by a barrel swivel. Early spring wire works great trolling live bait, bunker or herring in and around holes. You MUST pay attendtion letting out wire. Thumbing the spool as its being let out is key. Let your bait down easy and let the current or motion of the boat take the wire off your thumb.
Chet knows a ton about I'm sure
