I recently purchased some yard sale tackle that contained some older looking crankbaits. They look to still be in usable condition with a little touch up and possibly some new hooks. I would like to use them, however I dont know they're diving depths given a certain length of setback. I've tried researching on google with little success. Most only have a brand name, some nothing. No size, model or any other description. Probably a long shot, but do any of you know a way to determine a diving depth or possibly a website that helps identify old lures? I can figure a good troll/retrieve speed by hanging it off the side of the boat and watching the action, but fooled on guessing depth with 100 ft of line out. I've watched the dwr trolling seminar thats references a trolling guide, but thats useless if I cant identify my lures. Thanks for any input.

Sorry no pics at first. I assumed somebody would share a resource and make me do the homework. But, if you're willing. I'm including some pics of them in rough categories and sorting to possibly help. First 2 are no names or branding that I can see. Third- only Poe's written on the bill. Fourth- indentified Poe's Rc-1 and Poe's Rc-3 with a Poe's Elite in the middle. Fifth- some readable Jitterbugs and a Heddon Tiny Torpedo. Sixth- Rat L Traps in cases with some loose ones and some knock off look alikes. Seventh- not as interested in diving depth, just included them if you have know any useful info about them. Have at it, Thanks

Looks to like some of the ones are bomber and bandit type lures.
