    Default Bandit depth adjustment when using 2lb. equivalent braid?


    So I wanna troll some bandits and picked up a few 300's. I'll be using 10 lb. PowerPro that has a 2 lb. mono equivalent diameter. The handy Bandit depth chart TapOut posted is for 10 lb. mono.

    The article linked to in that post said add 10% more depth when going from 10 lb. to 8 lb. mono. I should get even more with the thinner line (and less bouyant I suspect) I'll be using. Just wondering about how much. Has this been documented and posted already?

    Thanks

    All depth charts are an approx. To be sure ,you need to get on a flat relative clear of structure and spend an afternoon pulling you plugs at different speeds and line distance behind the boat and record you findings IMO no one can tell you what you are wanting to know every boat will be different such as speed,rod angle,even current.But you can use the charts and they are a starting point.All it take is practice, practice and more practice

    Just remember, braid tends to float...
