The only good source I know of for that info is in the Precision Trolling Guide, by Mark Romanack. Since this is his copy righted information, I don't think he would like it to be posted here in a public forum. If you don't want to buy a copy, I would check the local library to see if it available as a reference book.

Ryan,
I must commend you on your response. The authors of this publication have put in alot of effort to get this information in print for the fisherpeople to use.
Thanks!!

Shawn,
The only thing that I could add is that it is very speed dependent. Buy the Precision Trolling Guide, I am on my third copy. Good luck.
The only way to know for sure is to prove it to yourself. Run each weight along a tapered beach. Make a record of the depth that each of the weights touch bottom at. Record the line size, boat speed, and the amount of line that is out. Don't lose your notes and you should have a pretty good idea of depths for the rest of your fishing years.
