Trolling advice, still new

[Frank]

Well I would say lure design,internal weight, I have lures that dive 8' for instance I have other lures that dive the same depth but have a much larger Bill to get it done, buoyancy, bill angle. Action trying to be achieved

I searched through my book, the closest lure to the dive curve of a bandit and should get real close, is the Rapala deep taildancer ttd-9 , it has the fireline/ braid numbers in the book. Here are the mono numbers 45=13' ,50= almost 14', 60=15 ,72' =16', 80=17 , 100= 18.5 , 125= 20 ,150=21,178=22' compare those to the bandit numbers, here are the braid numbers for that same lure 20=10.5 ,30=12.5, 40=14.5 ,50=16.5, 60=18 ,70=19 ,80=20, 90=21, 100=21.5 ,125=23' ,150=24.5 these would be the numbers I would use trolling bandits with braid because the dive curves using mono with both lures are very close.Once you get out past 40' the RR continues on a steeper path ,this is a rr with braid 50=18, 60=20 ,80=22, 100=25 , with short leads they are pretty close.
