lucabrasi,
Easy test for your depths so you need a pad of paper to write down your results or a lap top I guess.![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
Find a gentle sloping sand bar and mark your depth and work up the hill until your lure drags the bottom. Test a variety of speeds and then do the same test with other rigs and keep track of the results. This is how I know what my trolling weights combined with different lures will accomplish. We use this info to run a mast and planer boards out both sides of the boat. I can fish 6 lines per side not counting the down riggers and know what every lure will do at speed and set back.
