Location: APPLETON, WI | I just got a new trolling set-up a couple of months ago but have not even had it in the water yet. I opted for the Accudepth 47LC... I saw the 57 first hand and in person and it just looked like a monster to me. I read a lot of really good reviews and everyone I found had really good things to say about the 47LC. Plus, I scored a sweet deal on eBay so it was a no-brainer for me.
For line, I went with 40lb. Big Game mono and I only did that because most of the lakes I'd be trolling are relatively shallow. The reefs, structure, weed beds, etc, etc. aren't going to peak at anything deeper than 10-ft... with 8-ft. probably being closer to an average. Based on that, I just didn't want the lures diving the extra 1-2/ft. by using braid instead of mono. Plus, I kinda like the fact that mono has that stretch factor you can take into consideration.
Not sure if that helps or not... but those are the things I used to base my decision. If you can find a sweet deal on a 57 and have personally seen one... I'd say go for it. Otherwise, I'd save the cash and just get a 47. Sounds like you're familiar with them and already know what they're capable of judging from the fact you've had yours for over eight year. |
Trolling with Accudepth 57 or 47?
