leadcore trolling question

Im using 14lb leadcore on my setups; I was wondering if I run a 4-0 dodger with a lure or fly attached how much deeper will that bring it down? If I'm at say 3 colors running a dodger will it be a little deeper than if I just had single lure on at three colors?
good luck to all at the derby. Maybe next year!
thanks,

Re: leadcore trolling question

I use 000 Dodger's, I estimate I gain an additional 4'-5' with a 50' leader, so with 3 colors and a 30'-50' leader, approx. 18'-20' down.

Good Luck
Dean

Re: leadcore trolling question

I bet it will be a little shallower and with 3 colors of mini lead (14lb.) and a 4/0 dodger at optimum dodger speed (@2.1 mph) you will only be down at most 10 feet AT MOST. if you go slower it will go considerably deeper. i believe that a dodger does not allow lead core to go as deep as with a lure alone. (only if you are working the dodger to it's full potential), if you work it lazily it will pull down deeper.

Of course it is, what was I thinking.
My mind must still be in Turkey Mode.
