    Default Question about lead core

    Am reading a lot of posts about lead core. I see more that a few talking about using 5 color in 40
    feet of water or less. Are they dragging the bottom? I thought that each color was equal to approximately 10 feet of depth?
    What gives?

    Thanks

    Frank

    Leadcore rule of thumb is 5ft per color
    But I am using some new thinner stuff that I believe gets me 7 or 8 ft per color
    Lots of other variables tho

    I caught one yesterday on a three color in about 48 ft of water on a worm harness.

    Why does lead core seem to consistently outfish presentations on downriggers?

    As Chopper likes to say, it's the undulating action of leadcore that makes it so effective.

    lead core will out fish everything else if it is fished right. if not set up right it will not catch as many as a properly rigged rod.

    I am in the planning stages to set up 6 rods with core . What is the proper way to set them up?
