    2 dipseys per side

    As a follow up question, are you able to run leadcore/ copper rods off of a planer board on each side in conjunction with the high/ low divers, or do the high divers tangle with the coppers?

    I do run a copper over the high and low but prefer to not go over a 300 copper to keep down the number of tangles.

    I run mine on 1.5 and 3 for the low and high. I figure low runs 2 to 1 for depth and high runs 3 to 1. So a normal set to fish 90 down would be high back 270 to 300 and low back 180. I use all 124mm dreamweaver divers but i change the weight and bottom cover out on the high diver to one from a 107 diver to get seperation of the divers. I have ran both 124s with the big weight for high and lows but felt my bites went down.

    whats best speed on the probe for kings?

    why would you put the type of probe in the equation......???? the speed is the question. If your probe isn't calibrated than fix it. Speed is MPH period.

    As far as whats working...years have shown anything from 2.0 mph up to 3.0 mph can productive, get your wire dipseys out and make sweeping turns now and again. When your outside gets slammed there in the mood for speed, if the inside goes than the fish are being lazy and don't want to chase.

    Something I've always expressed to people on my boat is this.... a Chinook Salmon cruises the lake @ 5-15 mph so, your kidding yourself if you think your going too fast at 3 mph. Think about how fast they can rip off 300'-500' of line off your reel ???

    Every day is different you just have to experiment till you find their "mood"

    You do know the older depth raiders had no calibration right? The fish hawk is calibrated.

    spooling wire line for dipsey

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    hello I got a question I read when spooling wire line on reel need to go 100 ft then splice 4 ft of Dacron line in every hundred ft. I did not do this I just put backing on and 300ft wire, an then leader I would like to know why th splice every 100 ft and if you all do this I cant see what this will do. well thanks for the help. ebjoy your day.

    this do not do. Get yourself a 1000 ft spool of .015 wire and wind it on the reel. You do not want splices all over in your dipseys wire.

    penn reels for wire

    Simplest way to a full reel. Start with 2 of the same reels put wire first then mono till full then crank mono and wire on to the empty reel. Take a note of where the mono ends and wire begins on the second reel. Also doing it this way u put the wire on under drag so it is nice and tight and ready to fish when u get to the lake.

    Penn 309 will hold more then enough wire and backer. 1000 ft of .015 wire fills a diawa 47lc just right and a 309 has much more capacity then the 47lc. Regular dipseys rod will work fine just change the tip to a twilli tip.

    SS wire rods

    No lead core for dipseys. Lead is ran off either in line boards or big boards. Ss wire is for dipseys it will cut through the fleas. Copper is for running the same as lead core it just goes deeper and yes it will take a larger bulky reel.
