That PowerPro depth counter line looks interesting for those of us who don't use depth finders or depth counter reels.

I like PowerPro even though it lacks the stretch of a mono. I figure if I set drag right with my trolling rod of choice, a 7' medium action Ugly Stik, I can run the fine line between breaking off on  a snag or hard strike by a big fish. So far, so good.

.......Pick a "minnow" type lure of at least 4" and let it trail behind. The minnow type lures sport a small lip and typically only dive some 5'.......Very little effort to pull these types of lures and you will catch some fish without much effort or bother. I caught something everyday.

I do that more often times than not. I'll use a 3 way swivel with a snag less type weight and troll the shallow diver or even a floating type minnow.
With the snag less weight I don't worry about hanging up and can get some depth with a little practice.

A floating minnow runs on an angle with surprising action. Remove all but the rear treble and maybe replace that with weedless treble or one of those NeverSnag trebles I like, and you can almost forget about hanging up and enjoy your paddle.
