Many here have posted that they switched their downrigger wire with braid by Powerpro, typically 200# test for a number of good reasons. It sounds like there is less blowback with the braid, and for summer fishing where depths are often shallow, I am concerned about the inability to correctly judge correct trolling speed by looking at the downrigger line angle. I know some like using their GPS to judge their trolling speed, but it is my understanding that current speed/direction inparts different action using the same GPS speed, so I have come to rely upon the downrigger line angle.
So... is there a better method of duplicating one's trolling speed than what I have suggested? Is there a certain pound test downrigger braid, that imparts the same line angle as wire so as it is effective for the 30-50' depths common to fish in the summer months?
