Has anyone here ever seen a chart showing how deep certain lures will dive to when trolled with leaded line? I believe I saw one a while back but have been unable to find one again.

When we used leaded line in the past we went over the bottom that we knew the depth of on the graff and let line out till we touched bottom.Trolling around 1.2 to 2 mph we sort of used 5 feet per color as a guide. But there are lots of weight of lead core line out there and that would make a heck of a lot of difference. Try it your self. It worked for us before we went to down riggers. Good luck. [fishin]

Lb test for line changes the depth of your lure trolling as does speed
