You can use the bow in your dipsey rods as a speed gauge also. When you catch fish take a mental pic of the degree of bow in your dipsey rod and try to duplicate it. Works pretty well because of depth dipsey runs at.

I have used them with some success. But I would much rather run the small size 0 dipseys. You can achieve the same depth but can get wider spread with dipseys.
