[QUOTE="risingsun, post: 342462, member: 1782"] If you are going to use snap weights anyway, the easiest way in MY opinion is start moving at your desired trolling speed, clip on your snap weight, wait till it hits bottom , crank it up a couple turns and your fishing. Just be flexible and experiment how far or low you go. The fish one day want the cranks almost plowing/or plowing the bottom and will not come up to the crank, the next day they may chase it 6 or 7 feet up in just 10 feet of water. I crank plenty of shallow water, and have seen lots of crazy things happen. Everyone has their preferences and confidence in certain ways, and I am no different. I do what has worked for me for 20 years. And to add, I use 10 lb braid which is more than strong enough for me as it puts plenty of stress on the rod in a snag situation as is. Have fun figuring it out as you go, then when success happens, you will be opening up the wallet to get more. [/QUOTE]
