The figures above
include 2’ of depth for a medium weight lure, 6 to 10 ounces and a 30’ mono
leader. Add 1-2’ for a heavy lure, eg. A MoJo and subtract 1’ for a light
lure below 6oz/ Fine-tuning as components change, eg. 12’ fluorocarbon leaders
vs. 30’ mono can only be done through experience. Depths are for a boat speed
of 3mph. For 2.5 mph multiply depth by 1.3 and for 3.5 mph by 0.8.
