Absolutely perfect explanation to something many folks haven’t even thought about. Definitely something I always consider when trolling, big reason why the heavy lead always seams to out produce the lite ones. Is this is especially important trolling for halibut where I’m at in the Bay Area California. Gonna give the vip line locks a run down here in the salt this year.
Great question. Every situation is going to be different because of boat/water speed and depth of water. So giving you a number would be irrelevant. A general rule of thumb for me is, your line counter shouldn’t read more than 1.5 your depth. Obviously once you get into deeper water with heavy flow that goes out the window.
@@VIPOutdoors1 that makes sense if your running triangle flashers . Thaaaaat goes out the window when you start running 360's otherwise your 360 is thumping the sand and rocks. Tons of variables to consider, I run 360's with no dropper, weight snapped rt to the mainline ten feet deeper than the depth, maintaining 45 degree angle of the line in the water. But again several ways to do it. You just have to put the time in and fig. Whats best for you
Fantastic info! Thank you so much for sharing that technical information!

16 Oz. Lead balls can get expensive. Your information is gold.
Great point. Thanks
Thank you.
Thanks for the info
We are actually getting ready for spring bear season….
So ready!
Great video what weight of lead do you prefer ?
12oz is always a good weight for me.
In general how heavy would u start with down below willow grove???Grove??? 8oz , 12oz just your preference????
Depends on water flow and water depth. If anything it’s better to error on the heavy side.
So there is the question, great bit of info, but how much weight do you need? And how do you fig. That out?
