How do you determine depth with lead core line?
The rule of thumb with leadcore is 5 feet of depth is gained for every color (10 yards) of line at about 2 mph. To get down that extra 21 feet, you need about four colors of line. Forty yards is 120 feet on the line counter reel. Less line out is required when using advanced leadcore.
How do you calculate troll depth?
Consider the following example: If you’re trolling a tandem rig tied with two five-ounce bucktails (5 x 2 = 10), and you let out 100 feet of line (double 50, so multiply by two again), according to the Rule it will run at about 20 feet below the surface (5 x 2 = 10 x 2 = 20).

Before spooling the lead core line onto the reel, most anglers will spool on some kind of backing. I usually spool on some heavy mono for my backing.
