I’m not yet in a spot to take advantage of these starter kits, but I hope you never discontinue the idea. I’m good for a couple of starter kits. (Currently live in TX, working a return to WI soon enough.)

Guys for stacked divers do you recommend your high diver rod to be 2 ft longer than your inside wire diver rod. 8' & 10' ? Love your videos!!!

[@michaelcollins7363]

We set our coppers using the drag and leave the clicker off. The drag will keep the spool from ever going backwards should you get interrupted by a bite or something else and get one of those angry nests in your Reel? Once we have enough line out that it's pulling itself out we open the bail to finish setting the lure. Regardless of which method you use being patient as you are beginning to get the line out is very important to avoid messes.

For sure, well said

Great video guys. Appreciate that you guys are doing this. Looking forward to the wire one as I'm still newer to the wires!

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

[@timconklin8489]

Great video when you attached the planer board did you clip it on the backing? Thanks Tim

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

it gets clipped onto the mainline braid.

Great video but I am looking for the Dipsy Video Link? Am I missing it?

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

Hi, that video is now released and you can find it on our channel

[@adventuresofthebrittons1687]

What leader length on your dipsys? Great job with your channel..

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

8-12' depending on the boat size. We try to avoid having to hand line. Others prefer longer leads and are willing to hand line in. It really comes to preference.

Where do you guys think the browns are in summer? Here in Wisconsin we can’t find em except for late fall, winter, and spring. A few get caught but not many

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

It's believed that browns will be inside of 100' in the summer months. They'll sit in the warmer water at the bottom. Most tournament angler target them running spoons off the bottom.

@@otterlover2397 yesterday and today in Racine and Kenosha they are in 160 down 120 or more. Seen 4 caught there this week.

[@MarkCadwallader-v5o]

good video guys , do you use flashers with your coper lines, or not.

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

Yes there are times when we will throw a FF on a 300 or 400 copper. We try not too because its a pain to reel it all in but sometimes you need to for the bites.

[@polesetter5904]

What brand of copper do you prefer? also, what are your thoughts on the new Magnum metals copper?

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

We honestly use, and also bulk spool customers reels with, all three of the main copper manufacturer's (Bloodrun, Morgans, and now Magnum) with no issues. So you can't go wrong with any of them in our opinion.

[@Fowldawgsllc]

400 and 500 are super deadly in late July and August.

[@LakeMichiganAnglerTV]

Who wants to willingly reel those in? lol

[@Fowldawgsllc]

@@LakeMichiganAnglerTV anyone that wants to catch fish!! Some times they are the only thing firing!!

I really hope you ain't gonna vote for Kamala Harris in November because you seem like a liberal.

Copper/lead core is just meat fishing.
