wingnut Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Planning to try lead core this year for long lines and also on SWR's. Does anyone have a good depth chart for leadcore. I have the Big water edition precision trolling guide but was hoping to find a chart with a wider range of speeds and colors out. Thanks
mark72 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Leadcore will move up and down in the water calum so there is no precise chart. Current,speed,waves,turns,lures all effect its depth.but the chart you have gets you close. Being in the right depth area with the right lure is more important than being at a specific depth.lead core waves up and down witch makes it so good. I just don't have much luck with it. I get most of my fish on divers. Hope this helps.
kingfish123 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 27# lead core averages about 5 feet don per color, so a full core would be ten colors would be about 50 feet down.
IRon Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Lead core is very speed sensitive. The 5 ft/per rule of thumb is what a lot use. Personally I don't troll a straight line so a core is probably going to raise up to 40' +or- on an outside turn and probably drop down to 50 +or- on an inside turn (with a board). Add to that length of leader, lure used and currents..... You're going to be covering a pretty good depth range, which is maybe why leadcore works so well.
wingnut Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 On a SWR can you still plan on the spoon dropping 4 to 5' below the ball with 1 color at any depth?

supersport18 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 A SWR is 2 colors . Gets you 8 to 9 feet below the ball.

Salmon Assassin Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I run two SWR's a 2 color and a 1 color. I have even tried a 3 color, would go longer than that. SWR's outcatch mono riggers on the boat most days
