Dipsy Diver Depth Chart Question

[Cack63]

Hi Everyone,

I have a Dipsy Diver Depth Chart Question. I normally use the Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver #1 with a base setting of #3 with the "O" ring on. The enclosed diver chart only goes to 50ft. Many times the salmon are deeper than that. Is their any way to figure out if I want to fish at depths of 60ft-150ft deep, how much line to have out??? I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jack

I have that depth chart and it only goes to 50ft???

so many variables.... speed, what you're towing, your line, etc.

My VERY GENERAL rule of thumb - with 20lb wire at a 2.5 setting and a down speed of around 2mph (MOOR), I figure around a 3:1 ratio. Not an exact science, but I'm usually in the vicinity and taking shots

I agree with SoSaarie

#1 dipsey set on a 2 setting will tick bottom with 300 feet of line out in 93 fow at 2.7sog with a 8in flasher.

oh.... and turn a lot space permitting, I try to avoid the straight line trolls, I take a lot of bites on a turn

yep, with wire, its around 3 to 1. Pretty good vicinity like said earlier. 90 feet out, 30 feet down.

3 to 1 180' of 30# wire is 60' down. on a #3 setting towing a flasher and fly. After 100' down I think you lose out with the drag on the wire.

does anyone know the ratio with 30lb braid ?
