What do you mean by colors..does the line have various colors on it according to depth?
What is lead filled line..does the line really have lead in it? must be awful stiff?
Please speak in concrete terms for us slow learners..
Thanks

Leadline is braded line with a lead core. It is a little stiffer than regular line but still easy to work with IMO. Each line strength can give you a different depth per color. On average with an average troll and water temp each color will be roughly 15 feet of depth. However with a faster troll like you would for salmon it can be around 10 feet of depth. So it verys greatly with the water temp and trolling speed. We also use a heavey wieght leader of mono and some big spoons when trolling lakers to get their attention when down so deep. It is a slow way of fishing that can be quite relaxing..
