It has less to do with angle. It’s more a less a feel due to experience. Guys I fish with and my self could look at are dipsey rods and tell to the difference between 2 mph and 2.2mph. If you’re catching fish you’re going the right speed. If you’re marking fish start with a gps speed you’re comfortable with and adjust from there. Spin doctors are extremely speed tolerate. Spoons not as much so.

The bend in you’re dipsey rods.

We split equal shares and if you got good buddies they take care of captain and boat. My team is great. We win split it evenly and they always give alot back back.

Jimski is talking about inline weights. A lot of Walleye guys throughout the lake use inline wieght tied 10 ft or so above a crawler harness. It creates a more consistent depth control and requires less line to produce the same depth especially with heavy weights up to 8 ounces. With that being said I have fished with my dad and two grandfathers whom have fished both Great Lakes since they have been in there 30’s. The water clarity on both Great Lakes has created a much more efficient and educated generation of anglers. Segmented leadcore programs fished of a variation of planer applications is hands downs the most productive method of catching Walleye in Erie.

Vision quest charters has a video I watched. It was a pretty simple knot and holds. I use a modified version of the uni to uni knot and definitely remove lead.

Light leaders on riggers and board lines. I caught fish on bay rats but a straight rapala f9, f11 are hard to beat. In realitivly clear conditions blue and silver rapala are great. Wd spoons are a great spoon in the spring.
