Wireline Trolling

[redlite]

One good piece of advice that we have found from experience about the Penn Senators is to make sure you manually stop the spool with your thumb BEFORE flipping the switch. We have had a couple of the 113hsp's break because the spring on the lever would snap.
And watch your thumb as the knot between the wire and the backing comes around if you are thumbing the spool. If there's a burr there, ouch- a-mama. I get bit every now and then. Not fun.
Roller tips make a HUGE difference wire line jiggin if you are going to do it holdin the rod. Allows you to jig on the wire at any depth with out kinkin the wire which can lead to break offs. That way you can run just one straight shot of wire instead of sections like most people seem to do.
A 113hsp can hold more than 300 feet of wire.

I like that setup Mike. Just checked out the reel and its a 113H so should be all set with trolling.

Kippy look for Pete Santini at the show. He had a lot of wire at the MSBA show for real short money. Also what Redlite said. After you get tired of slicing up your thumb, try crimping the wire, make sure you get pliers that crimp the long way.
