I have put as much as two ounces of lead on my Jared Johnson red rod but didn't think I should try 3 but luckily never had to go that deep to find out.

I ended up going with the Shimano Talora 7' 1pc rod, how could I not? It was a closeout item at Sportsman's Warehouse for 50% off so I got it for about $30. I wish it was longer but I know it will be tons of fun to use and I will see how much lead it will drag around if I get a chance but more...

Well that doesn't sound like what I am after either but I will still go find one and check it out. What do you use for longlining? I have a Okuma SST Kokanee rod for longlinging but want a little better rod for that that can drag around up to 3oz's of ball weights on a slider set up. I already...

Shoot he catch's more fish than I do most of the time longlining and we do the same things/same koke rods. I think it has more to do with his rods are off the back of the small 14 foot boat and mine is off to the right side from the middle. He has a couple downriggers someone sold or gave him...

Yeah I have checked them out and they do have a great price tag on them , time will tell what I finally decide on and thanks to all for the advice.

No I have not but I know that Kokaneemart sells them and I have not came across them here in Bend, Oregon . But I had sent a email to Vance's about the spiral rod and apparently they don't answer or read their emails. So that's not good.

So far my research is pointing me toward the Shimano Talora Kokanee rod TLA7OUL2 which is 7'long, UL power and a med/slow action. I know it's a graphite rod and not a fiberglass downrigger rod which most of you would prefer but that is what I am looking for to longline with,do any of you own...

It's all fun and the okuma sst Kokanee rod that I already have is nowhere close to being a broomstick but I do hope to find something a little better and I do own a down rigger pole which is definitely fun as well but if I could find one in between those two poles would be great. Guess time...

Less fun? I highly doubt that. I always have fun fishing even if I don't catch a thing. Still better than the best day at work. But absolutely will help him put the down riggers on before next season or keep suggesting it at least and hopefully talk him into better boat seats too. But I will...

I was thinking about my post today and decided what I should of asked which would of been simpler was what does everyone recommend for a longlining Kokanee rod that is better and more sensitive than a Okuma SST Kokanee rod??? I own this rod and like it a lot but feel there is or has to be...

Not quite sure I get how that works. I get how the Bud's Diver works but doesn't the dipsy diver just do the same basic thing plus it has weight in it so would't just using like a 1 oz weight and adjusting the wing on the Bud's diver do the trick?

Hmmmm, I will have to check that out thanks. Although I did use my Lamiglas CGR 762L Jared Johnson Team Kokanee Red rod with up to 2oz's of lead ball weight on a slider type set up and it worked just fine but a stiffer rod would of been better for sure. If that rod only had more back bone like...

Me and my buddy so far have only been long lining for Kokanee the last couple of summers and he has not put down riggers on his boat as of yet even though he has two sitting in his garage. I am looking and wondering if their is a long lining rod that is somewhere between a Okuma SST Kokanee rod...

Glad it worked for you, garlic tuna corn is all we use but I was also adding pro cure garlic plus oil and trout/kokanee magic super gel on my hoochies and seemed to work as well as my buddy just using regular garlic/tuna corn. He was using the regular corn and I was using a small amount of the...

Thanks for the tips guys, the only idea I had was threading my line through a small chunk of some kind of sponge right above the dodger or on the leader for the lure itself and then it would have to be re scented every time I would add fresh corn to the lure. Putting the pro cure scent on the...

I was wondering if any of you use a scent chamber for extra scent trails while trolling for Koke's? I know Oregon tackle sell them but wonder if any of you have made your own and any tips on how to make one?

Thanks Everyone. I decided to go with the soft glow beads for now. Thanks for all your suggestions and help.

Yeah, starting to figure that out. I am surprised that no one has a Youtube video on how to do such a thing. But I am thinking shaping some hot glue on the shank of the hook and then using the Glow-On paint that wrightwyoming suggested might do the trick. Thanks to everyone's suggestions...

Yeah trade secret, lol. I already sent an email to Kokaneekid fishing about it and don't really expect an answer back because it says family secret on the hooks but I think I came up with an idea if I can find some. Glow in the dark hot glue, but I wouldn't put it on the snell knot at the eye of...

Thanks! That's exactly what I was wanting to find. At least now I know what to call the stuff and that is a great start. Thank you! By the way do you have the web address for Robbie and or R&K I don't seem to find a site for R&K spinners.
