Shad rap #5 dive chart

[Migrator Man]

Any one have a dive chart for a rapala shad rap number 5 for 10# fire line or 15# power pro? The only one I can seem to find is the one for 10 pound mono.

Determine the diameter and estimate accordingly?

Add 15% more depth with fireline in that diameter.

They don't actually make a dive curve for that lb test. They only do #10 mono and #10 fireline. But the #15 will dive very close to the Fireline.

My ptd app won't even give the sr5 an option for fireline. Just mono.

I'll look in the book and see if there's something in there.

I looked in my precision trollers bible and it only has mono. I also bought he lure on the app and it didn't have it there either. You would think they would have fireline for this popular lure. The jointed shad rap number 5 also doesn't have a fireline option listed.

50' back in 5 FOW caught fish last year with a SR-5. Any deeper and I swap over to LC. I also checked and only have a mono chart.

Dive chart for that small of a rap, long lining without lead, should be pretty easy to DIY. Guessing you are not trying to get much deeper than 10-15ft otherwise I would think lead would be easier.
Get line counter, start trolling at your desired speed, hold rod in hand, let out till you start ticking bottom at your desired depth. Crank in line at that depth until you are intermittently ticking bottom and see how much line you have out. Do that at maybe 5ft, 10ft and 15ft, see how much line it takes for each and extrapolate for depths in between. Should have your own curve in about 5 minutes.

used to long line #5's a lot, but usually only in under 10ft, I'm thinking it'd be hard to get that lure to 15' without some sort of added weight, but I could be wrong.

Just go cast them, it's much more fun.

Just keep trolling shallower until you bump bottom. Note the depth. Done

That is what I'm doing more and more... The K.I.S.S. Trolling depth explained by the captain.

So, does my suggestion suck? I thought is was viable.
