| OK...not a big troller but trying to get better.
I know some of you folks out there will have this info and would love to get a copy of your "cheat sheet" if I could!
Looking for depths of baits like little ernies, depthraiders, jakes (8 and 10), little swim wizzes etc. for 80 lb power pro or tuff line for various length line out, 5-35 feet range.
I need more confidence in knowing where my baits are running and this will at least put me closer to what I am doing now...yeah yeah I can find a slopping flat and figure it out...but my time on the water is limited so I rather fish...so I was hoping someone with this info will feel sorry for me and show pitty and share their hard earned info!!! I am willing to share what I know about muskie fishing if you have 2 minutes!

| great question. I am also just starting out in the trolling game, bought a couple of DB-4's yesterday and wanted to head out friday. I also have 80 pound power pro on my lines and was wondering how deep these would run. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Location: oswego, il | I use depthraiders alot and 25ft of line out will put you at about 10ft. 20ft out will get you around 8ft. I tend not to troll much deeper than that except a couple select lakes. I usually don't find active fish much lower on the shad lakes anyway. |

Location: Suspended | I'll second Todd's observations and add that at 35' out you're down to 14' at 4mph with rod tip in the water. I just got Daiwa line counter reels and ran them last week. The 8"Jakes run about the same and the 10"ers run just a little shallower (probably because they the lip size is about the same but the bigger one has more floataion). |

Location: Minnetonka , MN. | I know a 13" Grandma with 90' of 80lb power pro will go down 17 or 18 feet at 3.5 MPH. You have to figure in all facters speed , line dia. and line out. |
