im looking for a steel line set up

[#008000]Hey bigfish6,[/#008000]
[#008000][/#008000]
[#008000]You might pick one up on Ebay that is already set up for cheap. Or, you could go to Sportsmans and find one there that is specific to that technique (look for a salt water rod with rollers in place of the eyes).[/#008000]

[#008000]Otherwise, just get yourself an old Penn reel and (I have a 209) and some steel line for it. Then, get the stoutest rod you can (Muskey or salt water rods work best) and replace the guides with rollers (especially the tip top) as the eyes will get eaten up quickly by the steel line.

[#008000]Also go get some very heavy weights (stream lined if you can) up to 10 oz. (depending on the depth and speed you troll). [/#008000]

[#008000]You should bring along a leather glove as well because your thumb can get chewed up from handling the line.[/#008000]
