copper depth

[buster107]

How deep will #45 75,150,225,300,450 get me?

Depends greatly on your speed I personally troll between 2- 2.5 at the ball and use alot of spin doctors,paddles and have found you get 7 to 9 ft of depth for every 10 yds of 45# copper you have out that accordint to my old gtm I've attached to it.

This is how I also "guestimate" the depths of different lengths of 45# copper

if you are using super copper this is from there website,

http://www.coppertrollingwire.com/copper-fishing-line-depth-chart-dive-curve/

These sink rates are estimates and should be used as a reference only. Conditions of measurement were fishing directly into a current, 2.7 gps speed, fluorocarbon leader with magnum spoons.

32# Super Copper (.030 in diameter)

25′ copper – 5 feet down

50′ copper – 10 feet down

75′ copper – 15 feet down

100′ copper – 20 feet down

150′ copper – 30 feet down

200′ copper – 40 feet down

250′ copper – 50 feet down

300′ copper – 60 feet down

350′ copper – 70 feet down

400′ copper – 80 feet down

450′ copper – 90 feet down

500′ copper – 100 feet down

550′ copper – 110 feet down

600′ copper – 120 feet down

45# Super Copper (.038 in diameter)

400′ copper – 90 feet down

500′ copper – 110 feet down

600′ copper – 135 feet down

700′ copper – 150 feet down

800′ copper – 165 feet down

900′ copper – 180 feet down

1000′ copper – 200 feet down

Note that 32 lb copper is only .008 smaller that 45 lb , in my opinion its much easier to use. look at this thread it should help some or do a search on copper .
