NOTE: All Wiley Lures can be used for casting or trolling.
Since we have been inundated with requests regarding trolling depths that can be achieved with a Wiley Lure, we have created some guidelines.
The following information is the APPROXIMATE ACHIEVABLE DEPTH based on a trolling speed of 5 miles per hour with 40' of line out.
Remember, these are GUIDELINES ONLY, not "cut and dry" rules. Variables such as line weight, line length, trolling speed & buoyancy of the lure ALL affect achievable depth. Basically, short line achieves shallow depth, long line achieves deeper depth.
5" Lures - 6 feet
6" Lures - 6 feet
7-1/2" Lures - 10 feet
8" Lures - 10 feet
5" Deep Divers - 14 feet
6" Deep Divers - 14 feet
EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN FISHING STYLE, SO BE PATIENT. REMEMBER - EXPERIMENTATION IS THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE DESIRED RESULTS!!!
Hope this helps take away some of your frustrations so you can get back to enjoying your quest for the mighty muskie like in the photo below!
