- In this video Captain Marc talks about using Snap Weights as an alternative to Leadcore, Weighted Steel or Copper when trolling for Salmon or Trout on the Great Lakes. He also discusses how you can use snap weights with leadcore, weighted steel and copper to get your lines down a little deeper.
In this video we're using a Depth Charge Snap Weight kit made by POW Casting here in Canada. You can find POW Casting on Facebook at / powcasting

Enjoy all your videos and tips.
Totally true about the disappointing dampening effect of weighted line. Great solution!
I'm learning so much from your channel. Fantastic content
Glad to hear!
I ended up buying the POW weight system because of your video and because this product is made in Ontario.
Awesome…. It’s a really great kit and works well.
I wound up using this method a lot last year for my first year salmon fishing. I wound up going pretty heavy up to 10ozs without tangle issues on my small boat and that’s running 8-11” flashers behind the 10oz ball. I wound up catching mostly rainbows and a few cohos out deep using this method just like you said. I did get a few kings in a little closer too. Fishing WI side of Lake Michigan. Thanks for the videos
You should make reference to Mark romanack the creater of 50 50 method and percision trolling data...hes the man

Hi Mark, when do you use big boards and when do you use inline boards?
Here’s a new one for you. I live and fish inland lakes and reservoirs in the Utah/Wyoming/Idaho/Colorado area from my Old Towne Predator 13 kayak. I have equipped it with a MinnKota 40# electric trolling motor. With throttle wide open it can do ~5 mph. I usually use it at 0.7 to 1.2 mph for trout and Kokanee salmon if I troll. Usually I drift/cast water less than 30 feet deep. I want to fish deeper than the 7 to 10 feet I am hitting. I am thinking I will let out my lure and 30 to 50 feet of line then clip on a 4 OZ clip weight to get me down in the water column where the Kokanee salmon hang out. Any cautions? Suggestions? Recommendations? My home water is the Soldier Creek side of Strawberry Reservoir near the dam. Max water depth is approximately 80 ft. I use a HumminBird Helix 5 Chirp DI GPS G3 Fish Finder so I can reasonably well locate fish/structure. Thx for any suggestions. I know we live and fish in different worlds but please help me to adapt your knowledge and skills to my small world. Best!
Interesting. Wonder if this would be useful troll live bait in the gulf for king fish?
So this cannot get deep like downriggers? Just a spring method? Maybe steelhead in the summer?
Like the videos. New sub. Did you buy all those lures? Lol
Hi Marc! Great video as usual!! Question for ya. Our salmon here in the Dakota's run down to 40' at times during the spring. What size snap weight would I need to get down to that 40' depth using spoons and shallow running plugs using your 50/50 method or would that vary on the weight I would be using? I'm running 17lbs mono. Thanks!
I’d try a 5 or 6oz snap weight in the application you mention.
Great video! I like the organization of that weight box. How much weight do you find you can use with the stern planer? Or is it similar buoyancy to the side planers..
Thanks for the feedback, and I agree the POW Akita are very well organized.
Typically my stern planner is my highest or shallowest rod so I’ve never run more than a 200 weighted steel or a 5 oz weight. That said I’m almost certain it could support a larger weight if that is what you need.

Perfect, I’ve watched your stern planer video and am going to try it this season. Thanks for the tips!
Great video again. Thanks!
Great video! Can you tell me
How much weight to use if I want to troll those spoons faster like 4mph in the 20' range
Tough to say.. I’d probably recommend a 6 OZ weight and I’d have at least 300ft of line out. 4mph is pretty quick so you’re going to have to use trial and error but the above should get you started.
I'm confused as to the dive chart if I'm using a crankbait,do I just go by the snap weight dive curve,and add the crankbait depth??
Yes.,, that will give you a good idea of where your bait is with this method
Looked for the depth charge kit, nothing.... No where to be found, unless you have a link!!!
Marc, I know this is not related to this video, but do you know a Canadian supplier were I can purchase the material to make my own flies?
Not in Canada. I purchase from Purple Taco in the USA. Shipping is fast.
Do you find the snap weights better when fish are spooked by a downrigger ball?
Absolutely… it’s a more stealth presentation.
Can you add those to a copper setup?
Absolutely!
What is the math on a 4 ounce snap weight so I can simply get at its deepest chart gestimation,?
I’d suggest about 24-28’ at 2mph trolling speed
whats the blue zone ?
Deep water… typically 400+ feet
