Lead core question
Do people use LC line with down riggers? Reason I ask is on “fish lake Winni” Facebook page someone said he was fishing LC line 30-40 feet off the riggers.
Just curious why lead core AND down riggers? |

Another reason lead is run off riggers is when bottom fishing for Lakers. Some will keep their rigger ball up 10’ from the bottom and run a couple colors of lead off the ball. This keeps your lure or live bait right on the bottom. This method works well when fishing on sandy flat bottoms especially when dragging a live shiner. Dan

Thanks Dan!
I can always count on you for an answer! I asked the same question on that page and no one answered me after a week! By the way how did the Locke’s marker situation play out? Billy from Locke’s said he hadn’t seen it replaced at one point yesterday around 5 pm. |

Isn't lead core line illegal due to the toxicity of lead?
