Lots of folks use silicone carbide guides for good years of service.
Take care Re: Wire Line

Silicone Nitride ringed guides also, Fuji is the only supplier of that material I'm aware of. Re: Wire Line

I just built two Rain Shadow blanks using the silicon nitride guides in spiral wrap with slick grips for wire line on Lake Ontario. Still on lock down on the Canadian side, can't get out to try them. Re: Wire Line

What kind of wire? Copper is a lot softer than monel. I like the old-school deep trolling methods - especially the no-rod system using a wind-up record player with a spool fastened to the turntable. Re: Wire Line

30 pound stainless 7 strand wire line. Used to connect to a dipsy diver. Re: Wire Line

I think you could get just as deep using gel-spun braid with your dipsy diver. That would make guide selection relatively easy? Re: Wire Line

There is something about the harmonics of SS wire that makes it more productive than braid on dipsys. I have found the same thing with a downrigger ball set up with a wire cable vs braid. For some reason the wire catches more fish, I’m assuming the vibration. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/15/2020 08:41AM by Scott Kelly. Re: Wire Line

The main reason for wire line on Lake Ontario is the water fleas. Braid is fine until the fleas show up as the water warms. They cling to the braid and you end up with pipe cleaner all the way down the line that clogs the tip. Wire line saws right through them. Re: Wire Line

Bill: Why not single-strand stainless? A single-strand of any kind of wire will troll a lot deeper than a braided wire of the same strength, and compared to single strand a braided wire is a water-flea magnet. I know about kinks, but a careful troller can avoid them. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
