Most of the stuff out there has it in the name what depth the lure will fish,two very popular baits here are the DD series (strike king) and dt series (Rapala).
A dd22 is supposed to go 22ft (wishfull thinking),dt 16 ,dt10,dt8,dt 6,last number indicates the depth its supposed to run.
Goes to other brands as well Terry a one minus,means runs 1 ft at best.
Rapala shadrap number 5 ,number 7,sometimes figures are stretched a bit and sometimes accurate.
Bandit 100,200,300 dont indicate how deep each runs but the lower numbers like 100 are shallower and the higher deeper.
Poes are the same 100,200,300,400.
These all have a lip and use the lip to dive the bait,lipless like Rattletraps depth it is used depends upon the weight of the lure and speed of retrieve.
