The chart i found was for 10lb line and I use 17lb so I split the difference. Having said all that one day I was trolling out 50ft with my bandit and was trying to run just off the bottom. I believe I was about 8 to 10ft off bottom with my downrigger ball and it popped so I caught the bottom with lure. I raised it up a few feet and never had that issue again. Even if I'm not down the extra 12ft that I think I am but catching the fish that is on the fish finder I'm in the zone I need to be in. I hope this makes sense.
    Also what bandit lure are you using that you have it dialed in for that depth if you dont mind me asking?

    I found a chart by googling bandit deep diver depth chart. In there look at images or pictures of charts. there are different sites you can read with info some coming from people that use the precision trolling app.
