    Dipsy's vs Slide Divers

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    It's actually pretty simple if you think about it... You have 50' of line drag behind the slide diver pulling the back of it down flatter in the back. At the same time that changes the dig or bite of the front, in effect lifting it.. Kind of like stepping on a shovel with your foot while it's laying on the ground. When you do that the handle will point up.. Thus the diver points up when weight is applied to the back of it. ... To really prove the point of adding pull and angle, hook a deep crank bait to the back at any length from a diver or dipsey and watch it become a surf board on the surface... Now we can all have beer!

    Nice job! We ran up there Sunday morning from Geneva, Oh. and fished the afternoon until blown off Sunday and then Monday.. Had a nice run and did well on basically the same stuff.. Although we had a mountain dew color spin doctor with a atomic glow silver and lime green ( don't remember the actual name) that was very hot behind the down rigger.  our 300 coppers were week, but dipseys and riggers worked well.. If you see black Starcraft Fishmaster that says twinmotors.net on the side, say hello! I share info, even if it's bad...

    Thank you for service! I have an 09 fishmaster 196 and it leaks like a siv also. I tried gluv-it on the rivets and it just cracked and popped. I currently have it on my lift Calking all the seams with 3m marine caulk 5200 and then I am going to use bedliner spray from sem paint products on the external hull. Wish me luck! I love the boat, just wish it was built better! P. S. Never put batteries up front, the weight on the sub floor flexes and pulls the rivets out of the hull... FYI.
