From what I have read 3.5" below is where to start for setting up for best performance. I currently have 25 p Temptest plus 3 blade on it and also have a Trophy plus four blade 24 pitch. So I need to raise it...any other advice? Thanks! Last edited by fish-n-elmo; 06/19/17 09:23 PM.

There is ONLY ONE way to set up your rig, go run it with a regular fishing load, bring the plate up 1/4" at a time until you lose speed, lift or water pressure, then back a click and THEN you'll know where YOUR setup really is.
