Yep that should put you down 26 ft

Richard meant that add 4ft of depth for every ounce of weight added.I agree and follow that formula.

Well regardless, the length out will also affect the depth the weight will go while in motion, regardless of the weight amount. Additionally, if there is any distance ahead of the lure where the weight is attached, there will still be two arc's Just one of them will be much shorter. My thoughts are: The closer the weight is to the lure the more the weight will affect the diving and action characteristics designed of the particular lure. Many methods certainly work as there are many thoughts we all have in our heads that make sense and work for us. But, I am a student of life, who once thought he knew a lot, yet has found out he really does not. As I tell my students.
