LC-13 is lead core line from cortland, it sinks about 12" per second. It comes in 30' sections. I make up different size lengths and whip loops on the ends. Personally I loop it to my floating line to some what control the depth . If you were in water with no current and sitting still your floating line would act like a bobber and the lc would sink some what straight up and down so in lets say 10 feet of water a ten foot section would be hitting bottom. Now factor in current speed and trolling speed and your going to have lift. I'm still in the experimental stages trying to put that formula together. If im in 20 feet of water ill have on a 30' section of lead core, and run out about 40 to 50 feet of floating line, and paddle nice and slow. A fish finder is a must in your kayak imo for finding structure and knowing your depth.
