bandit depth

[Eyezcrazy]

Yes I put a flouro lead from the braid. I'd actually never put out 200ft line on a Bandit. To get deeper I'd put a Jet 40 on and pull a stinger spoon or harness. Furthest I've run Bandits back is 115ft to hit around 20ft down. So, I if I'm fishing 30fow I might use some Bandits to cover the column and set a Jet 40 back 115ft to get it down to 28ft (also according to the precision trolling app info). The app is amazing and I'd recommend picking it up for anyone with a smart phone. Free app and $1.99 per each lures info. As I said I only bought Deep Walleye Bandits and Jet 40's as that's what I use. Last edit I promise Others have mentioned the precision trolling info being off. In my experience it may be a little off and you're probably running a little deeper than it says you are. Just the other day I was fishing 22-26fow and my Bandit out 115 didn't ever hit the bottom to my knowledge. Speed and line width are factors obviously too. Basically, spend enough time out there with different leads of line out and you'll figure out how much line you need to get down where you want. For instance, I saw a thread on here last year that a guy said his jet 40's ran 33ft down with 100ft line out. Precision trolling has a Jet 40 at 25ft down with 100ft line out. I think the answer for me is somewhere in between. Maybe some others can chime in with their knowledge?

Sometimes people confuse jet40's with TruTrip 40's. Big difference in dive curve.
