Leaded trolling line question

[LloydE]

I have used leaded line for over 30 years. I have never used any backing on my leaded line. The amount of mono I use at the end of the line varies with what fish I am after and what lures I am using. If I am fishing for trout and I am using a Carter Spoon, NeedleFish, or similar lure, then I use at least 9 feet of mono after the leaded line. If am using Pop Gear and a worm, I tie the Pop Gear Directly to the leaded line and have only about 6" of mono after the Pop Gear. Sometimes I use Pop Gear with both a worm and a Flat Fish. When I do, I tie the Pop Gear directly to the leaded line followed by a worm on 6" of mono. Then I tie another 2 feet of mono, at the same place that I tied the mono for the worm, and tie a Flat Fish at the end of that 2'. This setup is very deadly on the Strawberry, Deer Creek, and Schoefield. When I use leaded line for walleye, I use 50' of mono, followed by three colors of leaded line, followed by 150' of mono again.
