Thumper / pound ball rig depths

[fishdawg]

what is the general rule of thumb for running one of these rigs (16 oz and 30lb wire @ 2.5mph) i thought it was 3:1 ( 150ft out should be 50 ft down?)

thanks

It seems to be about 1.5 times depth for 30# PP braid. 50 down=75 out, 100 down =150 out. Wire will be pretty close to that also. I strongly suggest buying the Precision trolling Big Water Edition. It's got tables for dipsy's, slide divers, snap weights, leadcore and copper using different lines, mono, wire, braid.
