I watched the recommended video by the DWR, well the RMT part anyway as FG does not apply to what I'll be doing as well as several others detailing the leader distance depending on what you are using as a lure.
Thanks for the tips. I went with 330 yds of Suffix high abrasion resistance line in 10 lb test. The rods are listed by Okuma as being kokanee rods with a 4-8 lb test recommendation, the SST's. I'll be rigging with them and it looks like they will have a good bend on the wire and lots of flex through out the rod for fighting. I want to add a couple of Eagle Claw fiberglass rods next, the old wright and McGill model. They have been the same for ever and my friend in NY holds the state Kokanee record with one and swears by them.
I'm not fool enough to go big water with a small boat, not just the lakes but the power squadron and their wave boats...even on the smaller ones.
The boat will get bigger, already looking for a 16x72 V hull.
Sent an order in to Teton and working on coloring some RMT dodgers I picked up. This will be fun. I like starting a new phase of fishing, more exciting having the anticipation and not catching than going with the same methods that have caught me thousands of fish over the years.
