Chinese crank chart

Anyone have any charts they have created for these baits? The upc255?

Here is what I have found. Hope this helps.

18ft - 6 ft deep
30ft - 8 ft deep
40ft - 9ft deep
53ft - 13ft deep

I have ran c55s/255s for several years now. I consistently get them ticking bottom in 18 feet of water with 100 feet of 10 pound mono. I paint my own and run both #4 hooks on them or #4 in back and #6 in front, depends on my mood. I always use a snap swivel on my cranks.

Ok thanks. If others that use them can help we could have a good depth chart

18ft - 6 ft deep
30ft - 8 ft deep
40ft - 9ft deep
53ft - 13ft deep
100ft - 18ft deep

Good job JW, wish I had the patience to paint but I don't.

Hard to imagine that only 13' of line out changes the curve by 4' of depth from 40 to 53' of line out when 47' from 53' to 100' changes it only 5'.

Well, it is a curve...that means that at longer lengths, the change will get less and less per foot of line out.... At some point, adding 100 foot of line will not make the bait go any deeper at all.

I was aware that they will bottom out at some point, and that more line out after that can cause a reverse reaction by making the bait move up because of the bow and drag on the line, but 4' with only a 13' more line out is a bunch.

Just what I found. If you want to contribute feel free. I put the rod tip at the water and let line out till it bumped the bottom.

Just trying to help folks out. I know more folks fish these baits but it's up to them if they want to contribute.

Thanks arkansebowhunter for the depth chart I add 75' = 16' but don't really know this for sure:dono just to make my copy of your chart complete. Thanks for helping and sharing the information.:ThumbsUp
