Who's going to run copper this year? When will you run it? How will you setup your rigs?

I'm adding a second copper rig this year. 1st is a 550' rig on an Okuma CV55s with an Okuma Blue Diamond rod. the second will be 300' copper on an Okuma 45.
I use a 20' 20lb test leader before the copper and backed by 20' of dacron (for attaching the board) and the rest of the backing is 30# power pro. i found that you can't have too much backing on copper. The first hit is usually a long run. If I'm fighting a fish on another rod I'll let my copper on it's board way out to stay out of my way. murphys law that's when it will get hit. 500' copper + 200' to the board + whatever the fish takes.(where's the newbie) Be careful not to drive over your own line when turning to gain line on the fish. You may lassoo your riggers with your own copper.
