Depth is the most important aspect to trolling. Most have no clue how deep their rigs are. Sure you’ll catch fish from time to time by guesstimating but you’ll never know with confidence how deep you are. The following depths were collected for the Atlas Rig using a Fish Hawk (a device that measures maximum depth). You can target the proper depth with accuracy and precision knowing exactly how deep you are using these charts.
The Atlas depths charts below are for 30lb mono line at 2.5mph and 3.0mph at several line distances. Save the images below for future references. More line types and weights will be added to the in the future.

Is downrigger wire cable “singing” a problem with this kind of fishing?
No. I’ve had the stainless steel cables on while trolling with the Atlas Rigs and they still catch. If you want to eliminate the “singing” sound, use braid and it’ll go away.
