45# copper question

[final flight]

how deep will 45# copper run with 135' out plus say 100' of 30# backing. don't want to strip down a 47lc to run a copper line down the chute and my 30lc with 400' of backing will only hold 135' of copper. i'm sure someone on here can help me out. leaving for lake O tomorrow and what to run a chute line.

I am no expert but I would think about 22' or so, I was running a 600' copper rig out 300' and picking up fish in the 60' range down the chute

thanks for the info. will try and set up my penn 309 with more copper need to be around 70' to make the spread even top to bottom. don't know if this works for others but with no depth raider it helps me find the active ones. hope i don't get spooled with only 400' of backing!! i know if i do it would have won the loc. thanks again--- rollie
