Depth chart readings based on troll speed of 2.5 to 3.0 MPH using 20-lb. mono. Trolling depth achieved will increase or decrease by 10% for each one MPH faster or slower. Line diameter and lure or attractor drag can also affect depth reached. The Dipsy Diver® will reach greater depths when used with wire line or line that has a smaller diameter, such as "Spider Wire", "Fire Line", etc.
