Say, I just picked up some copper trolling line at a used/rummage sale type place. It's made by the Erwin Company, is 50# test, and 300 ft. long. I need this like a hole in the head but had to have it. I was wondering about it. Has anyone ever used copper line? Does it turn green like a penny? It's nice and shiny now, being new. It's braided and looks like down-rigger line. I might try it on a super-heavy old-time bait-caster that has a Penn reel on it (another rummage sale find) for deep-trolling lake trout, muskies, etc. I have a lot of high-quality fishing gear for lakers, etc. but like to monkey around with odd-ball stuff just for fun. Any help? Thanks.
