For example, a scope of 7 to 1 means that with a water depth of 17 feet and the boat's bow 3 feet above the water (total vertical drop of 20 feet), 140 feet of anchor rode would be let out.

例如，a scope of 7意味着当水深为17英尺，船头距水面为3英尺时(总共的垂直落差为20英尺)，140英尺的锚缆将被放出。

Drop the bow, and stay no longer in the company of your better.

我总是在玩倒钓的时候保持钓线的半弯曲状态，并且将钓竿的的晃动幅度控制到最小！
