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

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
27 lb test at 2mph is roughly 6 ft per color. any other lead core questions just ask away or PM me.
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.:cool:Quote:

what about the new 18 lb lead core that sinks 30 percent faster ? whats that sink rate ??
The suffix? I believe they claim 7 ft per color
I am in the planning stages to set up 6 rods with core . What is the proper way to set them up?Quote:

Don't pigeon hole yourself into thinking only one method works better than anything else, all the time. Because this just isn't the case. And always remember, trust your electronics. You have to be on fish to catch fish. All the best out on the water guys.
Best way to learn would be to book a charter with someone on that end of lake and learn hands on. You can learn a lot in 1 day compared to several calls or messages to someone for advice. Fishkiller could hook you up on everything
