jdlivewell Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Do anyone know how to use the Line conversion chart in the Precision Trolling hand book for using a larger lb test line. I know how to read the chart to get the corresponding value but what do you do with that number? IE 20lb test Mono for 20 feet down gives me a number of 17 ??

jdlivewell Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I like to run a Yo-Zuri DD 7/8 oz 20 feet down at the bay but on 20 lb test. The chart only gives values for 10 lb test and I am not shure how to use the comversion chart. I to have the 8th edition. Heading there tomorrow any help would be great. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 well i have the book right here in front of me and there is a conversion chart,from 6lb line right up to20lb line its on page 9 from the front,of the bookfor example:::: at 20ft down with 20lb diameter,instead of using 10,your lure will be at 17ft,thats the conversion,and as the deeper you go that number will change....its confusing to type what it means but its easy to see in the book...does that make any sense????i typed it just like it says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlivewell Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 So when it says to put out 80 feet of 10 lb line to reach 20 feet down how much more line do I put out using 20 lb test to reach the same depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
