Using a weighted system your boat speed is the largest depth controller. When comparing the same weights, not as much on line dia.
If your using deep diving lures, yes 20 ft ahead of the lure would be a minimum. 30ft is fine also. That distance ahead of the lure should not affect the action of the lure. You can go 20/20, 20/30, 20/40 to the board for different depths. Or use the 30/30 the same way for deeper depths. Some use the 20/20 and each closer line to the boat gets a heavier weight, 1oz, 2oz, 3oz etc. Lots of ways to do it. Same with the 30/30.
When running shallow diving baits, You can also use the 20/20 or 30/30. Or use different weights with a 6 ft leader ahead of the lure as the shallow divers won't be affected in their action. Some use inline weights. I've switched to using weights attached to a 3 way set up I make. Much easier to just remove the weight when moving to do another pass, running back in etc. The leader, lure and 3way can stay attached to the rod. Even goes into the rod locker that way. Saves a lot of time and aggravation if your the only one setting up lines. I paint the weights different colors for ease of use. And these are a lot easier than using bouncers, no swinging weight to deal with. Just the way I do it. The coated cable/3 way also catches weeds before getting to your lure. I hope that makes sense.

I can only hope I have earned the freedom that has been given me.
