Dipsey ?

Recommended Posts

Hi !

Seems like from what I've read here if your running wire Dipsey (like a Walker 107 ) set on 2.5 it's a 3:1 ratio (300' wire - driver down 100'). So if I'm running a diver on each side of the boat set at 2.5 with the same amount of wire out on each , any idea of how wide the spread would be with 100' , 200' or 300' ?

Thanks JT

Not so sure that would work here because there is so much bend in the line . I have to believe from the rod to the dipsey the line is anything but straight. But Thanks!

good point... hadn't thought about that...it seems to me that the dipsies have enough pull to make the effect of line drag somewhat neglegible tho....but I do see that the resistance of the dipsy itself will pull the line so that the 'triangle' is no longer perpendicular to the boat. And this is a function of the speed as well. so...at least we know what the max potential spread is...

good catch and thanks for keeping me on my toes! :o
