If you want to go deeper while maintaining the same speed, put on heavier baits, use lighter line, or baits that dive. Fish could be shallower than your spider baits..you may not see them in your TD cone..and you just might get some bonus fish.I troll for walleyes a lot using bottom bouncers, and with our rod restrictions here in MI (3 rods per person), I will many times toss a crank bait out to target fish marked higher in the water column. Many lures can be fished at the same speed/depth. Remember, it is what the fish want that counts. YMMV
Yep!
