It all depends on what you are using.......... Flasher: They spin and the more spin you want the closer you run them to the ball. Usually 15-25ft and along with size and speed of the troll thats what you shoot for.
If you run just your line with and lure/bait, run her out to 100 ft but any more then you loose the control of down rigging...............
Dodger: They wobble and you run those any where from 25-50ft.... Now these put alot more strain on your clip and line and are made to be trolled slow. I you want a constant release find your sweet spot and stick with it. There is no need to run any further out then this. Even if your down only 15-20ft. Now there is static electricity that the steel line creates and will some what affect the fish but if you have a quality ball with a good rubber coating where your clip attaches to then you'll be fine. I am very confident in running down riggers and been doing it for about 18yrs from sea to fresh.[size 2]
