young gun Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I have a 10 color, 300 copper 45lb, 225 copper 45lb, 6 color, 4 color, 3 color and a 2 color. Now i have been assuming the 300 copper will get me down 70-80ft and the 225 will get me down 55-60ft and the lead core gets me down 4-5 foot a color, assuming on the conditions. what would be the depth if i ran a 8in spin doctor on the 300 copper, 225 copper, and the 10 color lead core? Also would it be ok to run a 300 copper with a spin doctor, and a 10 color with a spin doctor next to each other? Thanks and come on spring!!!
Dr Hook Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I haven't seen any dive curves for copper with Spindoctors as opposed to without but I would imagine it would be somewhat shallower than with a spoon.I haven't had much luck with spinnies on long lines, so I usually run them on riggers and divers. On copper and core, I'll run spoons or plugs.

Thanks and come on spring!!!no problem running a 10 color core with spinnie next to 300 copper just make sure the core is on the outside position, have many time had out a all spin doctor program out on riggers,divers, and copper,cores same with paddles.
Gnarf Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 There has been a lot of debate this past year as to the true running depths of copper, especially after blood run posted some test results showing much shallower running depths then normally thought.The only real way for me is when It snags bottom. and ive found that to be varying from day to day.
Dr Hook Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Plug on a 225+ flasher on+300= Real bad.Traditional bad or Michael Jackson bad?
young gun Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Michael Jackson bad is pretty bad. More like tiger woods.
hear fishy fishy Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 The spin doctor will come up about 5 feet or so on your copper compared to a spoon if you maintain a straight corse and speed is correct.
Trina Rose Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Cannot help you hear. I usually do not run spin doctors on copper and core. Just spoons and plugs. I have not had much luck with it, and its a pain to reel in. My spin docs always go on riggers and divers.
Legacy Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 You are actually achieving much shallower depths then what your hoping for.Heres some great reading material.
