Here you go Bob, I hope this helps. At speed of 2.0 to 2.3 which we are running now i use 4 oz bouncers. I have them on braid and a 4' leader after the bouncer. At these speeds we are close to blowing out a colorado blade which means instead of spinning the whole harness starts to loop. Wont be able to go any faster without switching to willow blades. I have been running both and they are both catching fish. How i let them out is determined on where I am marking the fish. If they are up off the bottom 4 or 5 feet I drop them free spool until they touch and lock them in. This puts them in that range. If they are 2 feet off bottom I let it touch once and hold it from spooling until it settles then let it free spool and touch again then lock, this puts it in that two foot off bottom range. If they are laying on the bottom i hold after two let it settle and free spool a third time until it hits bottom and lock it in, this puts it right on the bottom. Then adjust accordingly with a few reels until you dial it into where they will bite. I run two straight out the sides parallel with the water just behind my trees, this allows me to net over top of the line at the rear corner of the boat. I will run two more right off the rear corners straight behind the boat sometimes if working well, they are deep enough the boat doesn't seem to bother the fish. If fish are suspended and i'm fishing harnesses i run them behind boards with snap weights, or jets depends on how deep.
