Thread: Weight Rig For Pulling Arkies

At 40 its running 10 foot deep, with the 1/2 oz trolling weight at 1.8 it matches the Bandit 300 depth chart.

Gotcha, have u ran em deeper?

Not like that, I have caught fish at Enid with the 3 oz weights at 25 feet down, first time I had ever targeted fish that deep and caught em on a crank, pretty cool.
Need to get you in my rig one day, need a little help with the SI, its coming around and is producing fish but still feel I could use some more help and be better with it.

Useing Arkie with the half oz weight going 1.8 mph.....use your bandit 300 depth chart.....it will run almost the same as a bandit 300

Thanks g and Reese for tips. Reese I would love to fish with you just say when. Always nice to fish with someone new and help each other out. I know I could learn from you too.

Look forward to it!!!

I'm not sure how the depth chart would look like if letting out more than 40 ft of line when trolling the Arkie with the 1/2 oz leader. I feel sure it would run deeper though. With 40 ft of line out, it's running at a 10 ft depth though.

Precision Trolling book has the charts on Drop Weights, and the BPS keel weights in 1, 2, and 3 ozs. Should give you a fairly accurate estimate of the depth to line out for pulling.

My PTD app doesn't work for the BPS keel weights even tho they're listed, but the chart is in the book.

The app does work for the Offshore Tadpole.
