Great Video, I believe the first knot you showed is the willis knot. Thanks for the chart also

Thanks for the info!

I just got a use Sealine reel with a TON of this line on it, Im guessing I should change it out for surf fishing.

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Yes for sure, lead core does not cast well at all.

Awesome video, thanks for the info! What size jig heads and bucktails are you using for the depths in your chart? Double rig? Are your rods up at 45 degrees or flat? Thanks!

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Thanks for watching! on the jigheads and bucktails, I usually try to have a short leader with a three-quarter or 1/2 ounce, and a longer leader with a half ounce or 3/8. Heavier buck tail or jig head on the short leader, lighter one on the long leader. I usually try to keep the rods somewhere between 45° and flat. If you go back and watch some of my other videos, you can probably get a feel for what my set up looks like

Cool, thanks!

Good video, I'm set up ready to go just waiting for the yadkin to clear up. I plan on pulling 2 planers and 4 other rods in holders. 6 may be to much? It will be my first time trying trolling with lead core. I'm running 2 rods with 6 color, and 2 with 4 color. 2 rods all mono with line counter. Hoping to catch some on it!

Thanks for watching and good luck! 6 rods is do-able, I’ve done 7 before but that’s probably the most at one time I could handle, personally
