Hi guys,
I have been making my own lures for a while. I use different sized bibs and expect that size to run my wooden lure as deep as the plastic ones in my tackle box. I noticed this is not the case. How (without visually seeing) can I see the true running depth of my lures? Any advice will be appreciated. |

Check the depth with your sounder while checking where they hit bottom.

Without a sounder, then in a dam so there is no tidal influences, drop down a weighted line till it hits the bottom then measure that

Horrorhead used to do this on his topsail schooner a hundred years ago.
4 months and 4 days older and he bumps my age up 60 years?
