I am collecting crankbait dive information. My charts show insignificant differences between baits of similar characteristics when used in conjunction with inline weights (pushing or pulling). The weigh is in command. The speed determines the depth. There is a point of null on the dive depth.
Also, I recorded no significant depth change between various line sizes using in line weights. I also observed that the crankbaits have a lifting effect on the weight. For instance: I recorded the depth of a 1oz weight at 15ft line out. The depth was 8 foot. I the added a Bandit 300 to the weighted line. The weight was lifted to 6ft and the Bandit was at 7 foot. This was at 1.2mph.
