Expensive compared to other trolling lines, the plus side of lead core is this line is durable enough to survive heavy use for two or even three seasons before it needs to be replaced. Lead core is typically sold in 100 or 200 yard spools, but some manufacturers offer their sinking lines in bulk spools. Popular lead core set ups include reels loaded with 3, 5, 7 and 10 colors of lead core line. Known as “segmented lead core” an Albright knot or Double Uni knot is commonly used to join the sinking lead core line to the leader and backing lines. Most anglers who regularly fish lead core line rig up their trolling reels with a designated amount of lead core line, leader and backing line. Contrasting colors are featured on lead core to facilitate counting the different segments of lines as they flow off the reel. To help anglers judge how much line is being used, lead core is metered by using brightly colored sections that change color every 10 yards.

Some anglers still favor slower sinking nylon braid lead core lines, but an overwhelming majority of trollers favor the thinner and deeper fishing lead core lines made from super braids. Early lead core lines were made using nylon braid, but modern lead core lines feature an outer sheath made from thinner and stronger super braids such as Spectra and micro-dyneema fibers. Lead core line consists of a thin and flexible wire made of nearly pure soft lead, covered with a sheath of strong, but flexible braided line.
Few trolling depth control aids are as consistently productive or as versatile as these timeless sinking lines. Routinely used to target cold water species like coho, kings, lake trout, browns and steelhead, lead core is also handy for trolling up warm water species like walleye, pike, muskie and more. Lead core can be used readily with shallow and deep diving crankbaits, spoons of all shapes and sizes and of course live bait rigs like crawler harnesses. Trolling with lead core line is a productive presentation year around and for literally every major game fish species popular in the Great Lakes region. The title of this article pretty much says it all.
