This is going to be dependent on the lure you are trolling too.  If you're using a 1/2 oz crankbait with a big lip, you can add another 20-30' to the depth of the lure.  Same thing with a flatfish versus a rapala.  I think these are more designed for spoons or dodgers with a squid.  Still helpful though.
Here's another using clip on weights.
