copper past the knot?

[711skwerlz]

I rutinely run a 300 copper on the finger lakes, it is the longest one I have. I've heard good results from the longer coppers on the big pond. So my question is what is a good guess to get it down to the 400's depth.

-100ft of copper= 22ft depth

-300ft of copper =66ft depth

-400ft of copper=88ft depth

-450ft of copper=99ft depth

-300 copper+100ft of braid backing= how deep? (75-80ft?)

I know there is no precise answer and alot of variables(i.e. speed, lure, line type,etc.) looking for a good guess.

If this is doable what is the bare minimum backing to leave on the reel. (fighting room)

This is my first yr with copper but I would say you want atleast 400 ft on the reel. I've had some kings make some very long runs 200plus
