Lead core

[Jake sarnicola]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how deep 45lb lead core dives per color?

I believe it's like 5.5 per color

Dont gain depth going to heavier lead core. Lead inside stays the same size just the dacron sheath is bigger. If you want more depth go with suffix 832 lead core 18lb it is around 7 ft a color

Is that pretty standard for all lead? I was under impression it was like 5.5

Most lead is 4 to 5 feet doesnt matter the lb test depending on speed current and thermocline. Suffix just goes much deeper.

Its very speed dependent as well just fyi... I believe the "standard" is for 2mph. Anything faster or slowly can make a pretty significant difference. I know 3 colors will drag bottom (20ft) at 1.5.

Boat speed, number of colors out and the lure make a difference. For example with a very light flutter spoon and 10 colors out there can be a bow or belly in the leadcore such that it lifts the light spoon upward and higher speed will also lift the lure up from where you estimate it. A heavier spoon may give you a little more depth especially at slower speed. You can get a pretty good estimate by running a Fishawk TD on it and subtract a foot for the additional weight of it.

I had a question. Is 18lb lead core strong enough to run for salmon? The lb test is what I am speaking of. Thanks for any help.

Havent had a issue with the 832 and salmon. Know of some charters running it everyday with no problems.

Great thank you. I found some but wasn't sure if it would handle the job.
