Floydo,
I’m going to let the cat out of the bag, I’m surprised that my good friend didn’t give me a jab.

I’m in the process of putting together an article on lead core line basics, this stems from a discussion that was on the board in August that I said I would do an article; have been working on it off and on and in the last several weeks been putting more effort and time on it. It will be fairly lengthy and cover many questions that we fisher people have. I have done a lot of research on the subject and pulling the stuff together. A fishing buddy who is a retired mechanical engineer has dealt with this kind of stuff in his work; he is going to the west for some snow boarding for the next couple of weeks and when he get back, I’ll shoot him a working copy for his perusal and comments. Some time in February it will be complete.

Yes, there is a lot of conjecture, myths out there that has been taken as the truth; I hope to demystify lead core line trolling and put a new prospective on the subject.

Another way to tell depth is to get one of those small fish finders that you attach to your line then let out the colors you want and reel it in and it should tell you the depth + or - a couple of feet.they go for about $60.00.I think that there is so many things that could raise or lower you depth on any given day waves wind speed so I just keep adjusting the line until I find fish every day is different There are days that I only catch fish on the riggers and then some that I didn't even have to put the riggers down It's all part of the Hunt.That's what I love about fishing.But that's just me There are days that no mater what I do They won't bite But I still love to be on the water than at Home.
