Thanks RD, I hope to get out next week early. I had Kathy at the RodRoom build a rod last year just for Deepdrop. 80# bent butt to the swivel roller tip. I put on a penn 9/0 with a winch handle and 700+ yards of 80# PP. It is meant to stay in the gunnel. I have a few other capable rigs for the job but none others purpose built. I'm going manual in case I catch any record fish. Most of the hook rigs I've built have multiple medium or large circles on them and are 6-12 feet long designed for a long soak. Like you said I use a short trace of lighter line to attach the lead and usually put a cylume stick on top of the rig. I'll let you know when I go.

Thanks,

The fingers
