Wire Dipsys

Any suggestions on wire, rods, reels, etc?
 
Probably don't need any more extra gear, but one more presentation couldn't hurt.  Thanks.w_w.

Carpet Bagger is right, braid runs a very similar dive curve to wire.  That being said, there is still something about wire that works!  The hum, the slice through the water, something, I don't know what it is, makes BIG fish eat.  If you want to do the wire thing right, be ready to cough up some duckets.  I use the Shimano Tekota 600LCs along with 8 1/2 foot roller guide Shimano Talora rods.  That pair will set you back about $300.  The wire you can get at FishUSA and runs about $38 / 1000', I like the Malin 7 strand in 30# test.  I don't use any backing, just straight wire, works great for salmon on Lake O too.  There are cheaper ways to do wire, but you HAVE to have a great clutch/drag system on the reel, there is NONE finer than the Tekota.  It is by FAR AND AWAY the smoothest reel I have ever had the pleasure of reeling in.  Many reels will turn a little before the drag engages when a fish pulls against the drag, the Tekota's drag engages instantaneously, it is amazing.  With the roller guides, you don't really have to worry about the twili tip.
