[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 342472, member: 1372"] 50/50 is a guide really. but the concept is let out 50' of line, clip on your snap weight and let out another 50'. It's really just a guide though. It's mostly trial and error. For example, if I use a 1oz weight, let out 50' the clip on the weight, and lets say using a #5 shad rap, but trying to fish 30fow, I won't be anywhere near bottom, but same scenario using a 3oz weight trolling at 2mph, then 50/50 may be close. Could also be totally different if you are using a deep diving crank. I've used 1oz snap weights to get #7 flicker minnows, which already dive to 12', to the same depth, but instead of letting out 150' of line flatlining, the snap weight allows me to do it using a 10/40 method. snap weights just really give you some options and can help spread out your lines if you want. Sorry, I know that's more than what you asked, but I got to rambling. [/QUOTE]
