- Trolling anglers setting lure depth
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes GPS speed from speed through the water and models how current changes a rig’s depth.
Field notes
The public model offers six line types, seven diver and planer options, and 14 lure categories, with separate controls for leader length, rod-tip height, weight, and diver setting. Its chart estimates depth at several line-out distances. The page says users can calibrate each rod in the app against a depth logger or a bottom tick, and describes tidal-current coverage for the Chesapeake and around Charleston.
