Mid-line Weight

« on: February 16, 2012, 09:16:27 AM »

This season I plan on doubling my trotline length to 600'. I currently use 3' of chain on both ends of my 300' line. Will it be best to add another 3' chain section to the middle of my line now? I am sure it will only help hold the line down better, but is it necessary? Is there a rule of thumb you guys tend to follow with regards to this?

Thanks!

Nevermind guys. I did a search and found advice on this very subject from experienced members. I'll stick to only having chains at the ends of the line.

Thanks again.

3' of chain at each end is plenty for a 600' line. Its plenty of chain for a 6000' line too.

Do not put 3' of chain in the middle. You will be sorry. Grin
