fishy1 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Depends greatly on your speed I personally troll between 2- 2.5 at the ball and use alot of spin doctors,paddles and have found you get 7 to 9 ft of depth for every 10 yds of 45# copper you have out that accordint to my old gtm I've attached to it.

jimcr Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) if you are using super copper this is from there website, http://www.coppertrollingwire.com/copper-fishing-line-depth-chart-dive-curve/These sink rates are estimates and should be used as a reference only. Conditions of measurement were fishing directly into a current, 2.7 gps speed, fluorocarbon leader with magnum spoons.32# Super Copper (.030 in diameter)25′ copper – 5 feet down50′ copper – 10 feet down75′ copper – 15 feet down100′ copper – 20 feet down150′ copper – 30 feet down200′ copper – 40 feet down250′ copper – 50 feet down300′ copper – 60 feet down350′ copper – 70 feet down400′ copper – 80 feet down450′ copper – 90 feet down500′ copper – 100 feet down550′ copper – 110 feet down600′ copper – 120 feet down45# Super Copper (.038 in diameter)400′ copper – 90 feet down500′ copper – 110 feet down600′ copper – 135 feet down700′ copper – 150 feet down800′ copper – 165 feet down900′ copper – 180 feet down1000′ copper – 200 feet downNote that 32 lb copper is only .008 smaller that 45 lb , in my opinion its much easier to use. look at this thread it should help some or do a search on copper .http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25536&highlight=super+copper Edited March 18, 2012 by jimcr oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
