Hey I might be coming to erie tomorrow. But have never fished this time of yr. Was wondering where to try. Trolling cranks. Also I have never used snap weights ahead of lures. How do you know how deep snap what goes with amount of line out? Any help would be great. Thanks!!

Go on line to redneck outfitters weight chart. Remember this is at 1.8 & speed greatly affects lead weights. I would never troll that slow this time of year

So if I'm using a deep bandit and using a 2oz wght to get 26' down. So attach lure let out 50' then attach 2oz wght and let out 50 ' more should be close? Let's say 2mph-2.5

I run my weight 6 feet in front and don't give it another thought. Take the dive curve depth at total line out, add 1 foot depth for every ounce of weight to get in the neighborhood. So a 2 oz. weight adds 8 feet of depth at about 2 mph.

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.

If I put out a 50’ leader then a 2oz snap weight then another 100’ what dept would I be at? I can’t find a chart on this

According to precision trolling that gets you to 40 feet down. BUT, that is speed dependant as was mentioned before. Get the precision trolling app. I believe it's about $2.99 per lure and is great for bandits, P10s, Rattle Tots etc.

Ya I have the app but it says 100’ of line gets me 25’ down... how did u get 40’? Sorry new to this!
