[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 342454, member: 983"] Buy some Cabelas Depthmaster trolling rods, 9' planer board and the 5' shorty. The Scheels 5' shorty I like better but they're 2 x the price. Put Sealine 27's on with PowerPro. Get a set of snap weight clips and 1oz and 2 oz snap weights, maybe some 3oz as well. Take the cranks and go troll all the depths you mentioned easily. You can use the 50/50 method as a guide, but experiment from there. It's easy to dial depths once you get a feel for it. And remember, running them a touch high doesn't hurt. You don't usually have to dredge bottom to get the fish to go. I have leadcore and it has advantages, namely how it follows the path of the boat very well and how you can speed up to bring lures up and over structure. But it is slow to deploy and you have a whole different set of reels for it. I now use snap weights 90% of the time when going to the 30' range. Simple, can use the regular trolling setups, and it works. [/QUOTE]
