Last time i was at Scheels i picked up a couple packages of their 5 oz in-line weights. I've been using their 2 oz weights with the Precison App for a couple of years and i really enjoy that.
My question for you guys - is there a 'rule of thumb' in regards to adding more weight and getting more depth? Does every 1 oz of additional weight net you 6' in depth?
For example - i picked up a couple Yakima Mag Lip 3.5's and they are showing 33' @ 2.25 mph = 149' of line with the 50+2 method. Would this same line and speed = 51' when you substitute a 5 oz weight for a 2 oz?
I will do some trail and error once i get out and get after some salmon, but i figured i'd ask here as well.
thanks,
