  1. For 90% of the guys that do it part time like me, it’s a losing proposition. Don’t expect it to be an actual part time job that can help pay the household bills. What you make will be going back to the boat. Parts are expensive and you’re a blown Motor from being in in debt. This sounds harsh, but it’s facts. I could go on, but I won’t….

    A word of caution if you are clamping on mono. The little pointy triangular rumble strip that helps secure the release pressing against the line will crimp and weaken your mono. I ground those sharp  rumble strips down with a dremmel tool and increased the release hold by putting a small piece of 3M double sided tape down so the release arm pinches the line down into the tape. No slippage. 

    I’m at the dock now looking at what you said with a couple guys and I see what your talking about. I run the line through my tubing and the tubing is touching those points on the diver. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a problem.

    Right, the arm with tubing clicks down onto the line. The sharp pointy thing helps secure the line when the arm/tubing clamps the line and is located in the central housing where the line passes through to the other side of the diver. 

    Ok, got it now. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I’ve never noticed any issues in the past with slides.

    7oz weight supposed to run 2 for 1. 
    Just got them rigged up, looking forward to seeing how they track. 
    Anyone else using them?

    Yes Bill, I put 2 on wire this year with about a 15’ piece of 50# mono for the diver to slide on. I have a 5’ piece of 30# fc behind that. It works just as good as mag divers without the longer lead.
