Precision Trolling 4+

By all accounts from people that use the app with recommended Berkley 10# XT and the lures that have been documented nothing gets better for accurate trolling depth control (or other tested combination).
That being said there are limitations. If your lure has not been tested some other method will be required. But all is not lost if you compare it to a similar lure that is documented/tested. Finding a tested lure that matches your untested lure by the overall length, body size & shape, lip size, lip shape and lip angle and buoyancy should get very close.
The other thought I have is it would be close to impossible to test all lures with the number that come out each year and already exist.
I would not want to be without it for trolling fish that are suspended or on the bottom (all off them).

Honestly I’ve been only using for a full year now. It’s obvious you guys are actual fisherman and the app is very easy to use and follow. Not sure if it’s possible but like most fisherman we aren’t sponsored by tackle companies and just don’t have the time to read up on all the new crankbaits lures that seem to be flooding the tackle stores as of late. I’m wondering if there is a way to sort lures by depth first so any angler can then just sort through those lures and go from there. For example if u are going to LOW in august and want to fish the basin an are looking for all lures that will troll say between 25 - 30 ft on planer boards is that possible? Maybe it would be just too complicated because of all the techniques that are available to get even shallow baits down that deep say using a downrigger. When salmo came out with the deep diving free divers I didn’t even know they existed until someone told me about them. Anyways great info and very easy to use once u get it figured out. Gary

I am a bit upset that the lifetime purchase doesn’t even include all the crankbaits that I have in my precision trolling 7th edition book (more than a dozen are missing including ones I use). I mean why is that? How hard can it be to update the data in the app with the information you have already collected?

Unfortunately for the consumer, this is the only game in town for this sort of information due to some ridiculously broad and vague patent that should never have been granted. It was granted for “marine electronics with lure depth analyzer” what a joke!! Perhaps one day it will be challenged and tossed out so that this app will improve in order to compete in an open market.

Because of this lack of competition, precision trolling can get away with a limited line diameters and crankbaits offerings (covered brands are focused mostly on those that sponsor their fishing show).

All this being said, when you need information for a crankbait/ line combination already in the app, it does a great job. I just wish they would add crankbaits more often and with different lines. 10,15,20 The ability to see the dive curves as well as the scroll wheels would be nice for those of us used to the books and curve stickers.

Edit: Crashes have been fixed with recent app update. Still waiting on data from old book to be added and longing for the day this laughable patent gets tossed.
