was wondering how many people run swr's in their setup? and how much success have you had with them. was talking to a few people on lake ontario last weekend and they do really well with them. so i just bought 2 new setups that i am going to rig up, 1 with 2 colors and 1 with 3 colors. was thinking they would work great here especially this time of year when the salmon are easily spooked.

I've got a 2 color rod that I run. Not much success this year. I've also got a 3 color set up but actually run that off the surface in spring and fall...I've never run it from a rigger.

what is swr?

I use Lead, I have 3,5,8 color rods all setup for various applications... Although I haven't used one since July (fish are DEEP)....

Secret Weapon Rig. (lead-core dragged from your rigger)

the secret weapon rod is ran off the downrigger ball, 2 colors will put the lure 10 or so feet underneath the ball.

there is also the down and out by running small dipsy's off out side riggers haven't tried it yet

rob,

that sounds interesting, but i would think you would have to drop the ball at a very slow pace as to keep the dipsy from spinning around, tangling everything up. and would not work for me as my dipsy rods are all wire.

i think the guy that was telling me about it was using the big lin or walker type that are real small and could run on a mono down rigger rod
