Use the lures natural diving depth at the desired feet back first, then add the needed weight to reach the depth you want to target. We used this system back many years ago, when people said "you did what".

You need to elaborate on how much more depth each ounce of weight will get them with a length of line out. Most don't know.
And, there are those that know, and talk with others... and, then, can't agree on what is correct. Been there done that. I was taught one way by an older charter Capt, and I have friends that were taught another. Who's right? lol

I use the Precision Trolling Data App. They have the 2oz snapweight option for the most popular Lake Erie cranks, and then I know for sure where my bait is.

But, then again, sometimes I use that info from old "Bigfoot" LaCourse, who I think was one of the best of the Lake Erie trollers.
