Since you are new to running bandits, the best thing you can do is go to precision trolling data website and watch their video to see how deep your baits are truly diving. Get their phone app and buy the one for deep diver bandits. A little research and you will be able to figure out what you can do to get those down deeper for the fish near bottom on 30-40 foot deep waters. Quite interesting and productive. They have quite the selection of different products they have tested and has been very helpful for me.
