I run them in the spring. At 2.0 mph you will get another 15 to 20 foot of depth from um. Speed is the key when running close to the bottom tho. Slow down just a bit and you will be doing circles to try to get it off the bottom. Make sure you know how your rods pull with um on also, they pull hard and its easy to drag small fish.
