Anyway you can expand on that? I have heard rumblings around it but really haven't heard anything first hand. No clue what lc-13 is I have tied up a few BIG flies, herring and such. How far out do you run the line. I was planning on a short trip this weekend and was thinking about bringing the fly-rod along..

Used hard and put away dirty....

LC-13 is lead core line from cortland, it sinks about 12" per second. It comes in 30' sections. I make up different size lengths and whip loops on the ends. Personally I loop it to my floating line to some what control the depth . If you were in water with no current and sitting still your floating line would act like a bobber and the lc would sink some what straight up and down so in lets say 10 feet of water a ten foot section would be hitting bottom. Now factor in current speed and trolling speed and your going to have lift. I'm still in the experimental stages trying to put that formula together. If im in 20 feet of water ill have on a 30' section of lead core, and run out about 40 to 50 feet of floating line, and paddle nice and slow. A fish finder is a must in your kayak imo for finding structure and knowing your depth.

works great from a canoe, I think I caught the most schoolies at one time trolling a clouser.
