It's a trolling technique developed by Offhore, the company that makes in-line planer boards. It's also described in detail in the trolling manual, "Precision Trolling".
Basically when trolling a shallow running lure or spoon, you let out 50ft of line, add a snap weight(varying weights), let out another 50ft of line, and depending on boat speed and how much weight was added, the dive curve predicts the depth you lure will travel. It's pretty easy and works well for fish no deeper than 40ft.
