Trolling For Freshwater Stripers-Yumbrella Rig

[the reel ess]

I am going to try to troll for stripers on Lake Wateree, SC Monday. I was planning on using Rat L Traps and a Yumbrella Rig. Does anyone know how to know how deep you're getting your umbrella rig? The entire thing weighs 3 3/8 oz. Just weighed it on a food scale.

 

Thanks.

Depth will be determined by speed. Forget about the Rat-L-Trap. Although I have several different set-ups,

my most productive Alabama Rig has LFT Live Magic Shad on the outside arms (weightless) and a Johnson

Silver Minnow in the middle. Best striper was 38 lbs, most are +/- 20lbs.

I might try a deep diver crank for this
