Far from it. If you were pulling with 100 ft of line out at a 45 degree angle you would be 50 ft deep! I usually stick with 20ft of line out= about 10 ft deep. Make adjustments as needed.Quote:

I think its like 2/3 of the line out is the depth. So with15ft. of line you will be at 10 ft.
Think that would put it about 70 ft. deepQuote:

Here is what I'm watching while I'm pushing cranks.I'm also watching my 2 GPS units on the bow and console with maps on the the 898 and map/DI on the 788 up front. I typically pull up to 8 baits but I'm always going to have at least 2 baits off the sides---pushing. My set-up is 5 oz weights like ScottV showed. I use a 3 foot leader with a 100 Bandit or similar shallow runner crank. I set these baits up in the holders so they show up on my 510C as the horizontal lines. 2 baits/2 lines. 4 baits/4 lines. I may not know 100% which bait is which but I can quickly adjust the depth so I know for sure. By watching those lines, I can tell what depth my weight is running. I know the bait is running a foot or so below the level of the weight. On a typical trip, I will catch 1/2 or more of my keepers on my drop rods. With the 5 oz weights, my line is almost straight up and down and many times I don't detect a bite, just see the angle of the line change to 45% or more.

Where is the transducer for the 510?Quote:

That's what I was seeing the other day on mine, got 2 short poles that I push with and was seeing the lines from them using a 3oz weight, mine are prolly 2/3 they way to the front off the side at a 45 degree angle, lines were as velar as yours but that would be because the weight is smaller.
