I was looking to get the thoughts of this board on dipsy #2 setting trolling depths when using the spin doctor and fly . I have a good idea where I'm at but looking for input from a few here to see if I'm in the right area. I'm looking for amount of line out to get 50', 60', 70' 80'

I know currents, line size, etc make a difference. Here's what I'm running.

10lb diameter power pro (50lb test strength)

I think this lines runs close to wire but not sure

speed is 2.3-2.4mph at the downrigger ball

size 1 dispy diver with ring on #2 setting

160' of line out #2 set dispys runs about 60'

50' depth #2 set, line out??

60' depth #2 set,, line out 160'

70'?

80?

thanks, BB.

Depth times 3 minus 10% with SD/Fly, Times 3 with spoons.

50' down = 160' back running SD/Fly

50 down = 150' running spoons

60' down = 195 back running SD/Fly

60 down = 180 back running spoons

And so on. I wouldn't bet the ranch but I would bet this is close.

Distance out for wires will also vary by brand of reel being used. Good starting point is a 3 to 1 ratio (3 feet of wire out for 1 foot of depth) for a 2 setting.
