I can't 100% answer that question but I can give you my theory.
IMO, it's not that easy to calculate. I use to pull double jigs but now I've started pulling singles. I can control the depth better. I know people who say they pull 2, 32nd's 8-10 feet deep at 1.2 mph but I think they are mistaken. I don't think they'll go over 4'-5' deep at that speed unless you've got out 100 yards of line and even then I'm not sure they'll go any deeper. I know when I pull over grass and can see the top of the grass on my down image that I can tell if they get grass depth and they rarely do.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Line size has alot to do with it.

Probably more like 1.5 times the depth if I had to guess. I don't know all the variables involved to actually do the math so I can't be certain. They will be deeper but you'll have more line creating drag against the water causing them to angle up in the water column.

Yes, I agree that there are so many variables that it would be nearly impossible to calculate.
Amount of line out and angle relative to the water Coefficient of friction of the line Line size Distance of rod tip from water Wind Jig body drag Current Maybe even water temperature and clarity And I'm certain that there are other factors we haven't thought about yet.
Too much to calculate precisely. I wonder if there is a chart or formula somewhere that would get close enough or if the only shortcut is experience.
There's a chart, but from my experience it's not worth a flip. I can find a link to it if you want to see it, but I don't use it. I just let out line til I start hitting the bottom, then reel in from there. And I'll add if the fish are more than 5-6 feet deep I pull single jigs. From my experience it's easier to get them deeper than doubles. Unless the eelgrass mysteriously dies out, I'm afraid that longlining on Guntersville will soon be a thing of the past. That's the most aggravating crap I've ever dealt with while fishing.
