Dont gain depth going to heavier lead core. Lead inside stays the same size just the dacron sheath is bigger. If you want more depth go with suffix 832 lead core 18lb it is around 7 ft a color

Is that pretty standard for all lead? I was under impression it was like 5.5

Its very speed dependent as well just fyi... I believe the "standard" is for 2mph. Anything faster or slowly can make a pretty significant difference. I know 3 colors will drag bottom (20ft) at 1.5.

Boat speed, number of colors out and the lure make a difference. For example with a very light flutter spoon and 10 colors out there can be a bow or belly in the leadcore such that it lifts the light spoon upward and higher speed will also lift the lure up from where you estimate it. A heavier spoon may give you a little more depth especially at slower speed. You can get a pretty good estimate by running a Fishawk TD on it and subtract a foot for the additional weight of it.
