Here is links for 2 bandit depth charts you can copy

Most of the time we find depth charts from lure companies to be extremely inaccurate.

Knowing your equipment is key as Mr. Dux alludes to. If you read my article however, it will give a very specific scenario in regards to importance of knowing what your equipment will do. Most do not tell you 15 feet down. Instead, they tell you 80 feet back. If you don't know or understand the curve and equipment, you have little clue as to depth.

Walleye are very depth dependent so that is what I am basing off from.

Precision trolling is measured with actual divers in the water so they are not using pathagareum theory or math or best guesses to measure depth. Certain lures will platue out quick so a set back of 140 is very little difference to 170.

Many diving lures are extremely speed dependant. That is also covered with precision trolling. If you don't want the app, you can purchase stick on cards for the specific lures you want.

This may be a stupid question but I'm still confused. When it says an Arkie 350 will run 9' deep with 32' of line out, is that line out from the spool or from the rod tip?

No such thing as a stupid question, it is measured from the rod tip.

Thank you to all who replied. I'll be trying my second attempt at trolling on Sunday and I'll be sure to post and let everyone know how it goes

The amount of line out should be measured from where the line enters the water. Some folks like their rods off the transom to be up at a 45 degree angle. That makes the line entry point a good ways back.

I couldn't get on that one fast enough. Thanks Doug

Thank you. I'm really excited to try everything I've learned this weekend. I'll only be using 2 rods. My 10' will have a crank on it and my 7' will have jigs on it. And my buddy in the front of the boat will have the same.

Go to the Mississippi forum. There is a sticky about pulling cranks. 156 pages of info!

Lot of stuff going on there.. I never pull cranks slower than 1.4mph (average 1.8) and never pull / push jigs more than 1.2 mph (average 0.8). I may be wrong and hope others chime in, cause I'm fixing to go to sleep.. lol. Tell us how your trolling, with tm or big motor?
