Trolling
Here is a link to some data I posted on www.yumabassman.com

I subsequently went back to the author and asked about lighter weights. Here is what he had to say:
I just ran a case for .007 inch diameter line, 1/8 ounce lure and 1 mph. The results are a trolling depth of 15 feet with 50 feet of line out (beneath the water) and 19 feet with 100 feet of line out.
This assumes the weight is a spherical lead weight and has no additional drag. The crappy jig has additional drag so the trolled depth would be shallower. Of course trolling faster would also bring your lure up shallower. So this is probably a max troll depth and you may be shallower.
