How Much Deeper Does This Fluro Make Cranks Really Run?

Featured Replies

I know fluro is the 'Sinking' line and people always say it makes cranks run deeper than braid, but how much deeper? And how much does the # test matter on how deep it was to run? Anyone have any numbers or charts or theories on this?

Line diameter matters more than whether the line is mono or fluoro but fluoro will get a little deeper. For instance, in measured tests, a Mann's Plus 30 crankbait goes to 16.5 ft on 14 lb test mono (.014" dia), 18 ft deep on 12 lb (.013" dia), 19 ft on 10 lb mono (.012" dia), and 20 ft on 8 lb mono (.011" dia). A suspending deep diver will typically add a foot to the depth versus a floating version of the same model. I'd guess that fluoro might add another half foot.
