Trolling Rod for Lead Core Line
I'm looking for a trolling rod to use with lead core line on a vintage Penn Senator 112H reel. I already have two Penn Senator trolling rods (model# NL 3130WL, I think) but they are too stiff for inshore trolling.. Any suggestions on what trolling rod to buy?
I don't plan on using wire line but I've rediscovered lead core line. How do you guys attach lead core line to a leader? I've tried tying 17# and 27# test leadcore line to a long (30 foot?) fluorocarbon leader using a tiny Japanese barrel swivel that will pass through the guides on the rod but the barrel swivel has loosened (broken) the guide on the top of one of my light-duty inshore rods. Any suggestions on how to attach this line to a leader?
Thanks, everyone.
Bill

Blood knot , best to remove enough lead from line to tie knot.
Nothing beats fish a custom rod !!!

For dragging lead, I use and the Ugly Stick tiger series, 7" 20-50# line. I forget the price, but it was under a $100.

I have two identical set-ups.
The rod is a Ugly stick BWLB 1100 its 7' M action
Reels are PENNS 330 GTIs.(levelwinds)
Perfect set-up with level winds for when I have people
on board who don't know how to feed the line back on.

THe best I ever did was a lamiglass 963m custom made into a trolling rod. I have two matching for the boat.
I am not sure what the replacement for the lami is.

IMO, If you need more than 100 yds of lead, use wire or drails to get down.
