Crappie fishkin question - 11/07/20 03:54 AM
I had to get my mind off of all the voter fraud and political BS for a while so this came to mind.
In cold months I often find myself dragging a spread of 1/32 oz crappie jigs tied 2 on each rod. At the speed I like to run it seems to me that the jigs are running 5 to 6 feet deep. I can't confirm that depth but based on the angle and the amount of line out, that's what depth it looks like.
Here's the question: All other things being unchanged, if I switch to say 1/16 oz jig-heads will they run at approximately twice the depth? Or 1/24 oz run at approximately 1-1/3 times the depth? Or will it affect depth completely differently, and if so how?
