1/6/2019 8:17:32 PMThree colors....thats all I have on the Ambassador reel plus 60' fluro leader. Three colors just has to work cause that's it!. As far as the rides in nice boats....well it's great to have friends because of the iTroll business. Life is good.

1/6/2019 8:21:29 PMThanks Mike, getting to fish kokes in North Idaho in late December out of a boat is a real treat! My version of ice fishing....heated boat.

1/7/2019 7:27:04 AMHmm, 3 colors and a 60' fluorocarbon leader wonder why that works. :-D
Got a full spool of leadcore on my reels and 50' of fluorocarbon. Got the crazy idea a year or so ago to despool the leadcore and respool in reverse so the new portion was now outside. Where did I get the crazy idea I needed to do that? LOL
Nice haul of fat kokanee and great pictures. Thanks for sharing. :-)
THan:-D

1/7/2019 8:46:54 AMWell when you've used it so much you cant tell what color is out then reversing makes sense. When you only have three there is no need to reverse cause it all goes out to the backing (10# Power Pro) Who wants to lift a big reel with 10 colors on it anyway? LOL Need to go deeper; that's what downriggers are for.
