I think it's like 250 ft a minute on the old 4's. I think the new digi trolls are the same. With GPS contours is there a reason to ever run into a cliff anymore? Haha. I tested it in Linwood bay one day when I first got them. We were headed for the rocks to pitch for some smallmouth after a day of trolling for Lakers. We headed right for the wall. I got to watch the weight follow the rock right up for the last 20 feet. It was that clear. I don't think it ever bumped a rock. Theres also some user responsibility in selecting how far off the bottom to track, compensate for blowback etc. With that said... We generally troll under 2mph GPS. If you were going quicker I imagine you could bump. I dragged my old sport trolls enough to know that it isn't the end of the world anyways. Keep your clutch loose. If you snag... Back up and work it loose. Don't force it. I've only lost one weight even though I used to snag all the time.
