burg Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Surely putty wouldn't Carry enough weight to sink tight line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnorty Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 an inch of slack will put a length of tubing on the deck. If you really need lines to be tight as a guitar string, then you need to forget about putting the line on the lake bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi guys, is there any way of getting your tubing / leadcore to sit firmly on the bottom without having to have your line slack? Thanks Totally slack on the lakebed going into every trough and crevice and still running slack to the end tackle? NO! Leadcore does not go into every crevice, it is not supple enough, and fished on a tight line will be lifting up to the rod tip in an arc, same with tubing, even with flying backleads or putty, in fact you can be lifting the putty up if you have the line at all taut. If you want tubing, mainline or that poxy leadcore to just lay flat along the lakebed then you will need a slack line If there are any lifts then you may as well accept that by tightening up with a backlead, putty or anything then the line will be pulled tight over that emergant feature.
