Mnpat: "Td9 the regular taildancer up to 20 with 200 ft out I find that really helpful too. I've clearly not been letting enough line out. |

Here is the chart for 9 and 11. Again I believe this is from precision trolling which is based off 10 lb trilene and 10 lb fireline. |

So (based on your experience) what is a reasonable depth expectation with 8 lb fireline, trolled behind a canoe at an 'average' pace? (kind of leisurely paddling along) Does mono change the equation significantly? Any insights on how much line you have out? I'm planning on fishing deep reefs, 15-25 feet, in August. My go-to is jigs tipped with leeches or 1/2 crawler, but I'm also looking for a faster search tool with which to find where a school may be lurking on the large reef. Are there other trolling lures for probing these depths which should also be considered? Thanks! |

Deep Tail Dancer TDD-07 10 lb Fireline 23 ft deep 180 ft back 10 lb XT mono 18 ft deep 160 ft back Deep Tail Dancer TDD-09 10 lb Fireline 26 ft deep 198 ft back 10 lb XT mono 22 ft deep 177 ft back Deep Tail Dancer TDD-11 10 lb Fireline 35 ft deep 176 ft back 10 lb XT mono 29 ft deep 182 ft back I use a line counter reel and feel that the depth data of the Precision Trolling App is spot on. I have the APP downloaded to my IPhone and use it religiously when trolling for walleye and lakers. Just about every lure you will ever troll is listed in the Precision Trolling App. |
