A simple formula for standard sink rates under a specific condition, which applies to our entire selection of lead core lines. When trolling at slow to medium speeds (1.5-2.5mph) using a one-ounce lure in no current; the typical depth will be 6 to 6-1/2 feet of depth per color or 1.25 feet per 2 yards of line. This depth will be effected either up or down by .25 feet for every 1/4 ounce of lure weight. The depth does not Vary greatly between pound tests due to the line drag created by the larger pound test lines.
