Diver down the chute

[bout time]

Anyone run this? I have a 25' trophy with 8.5' beam with 2 riggers in the corners. Wondering if you can run a chute diver or is it just asking for trouble

I would be afraid of making a mess when turning in strong currents. Also if you get a fish on the rigger no doubt it will be into the dipsy line especially if its a steely

Why not run a copper down the chute, that's what I do. I have the same setup, corner riggers and I either run cores or copper down the middle.

I run coppers down the chute frequently. It was one of those questions that came across my mind as I sitting in my recliner watching the wind blow.

Even on the zero setting the divers can be all over the place.....I just run the coppers (one at a time ) there

I have a 22' trophy w/ corner riggers and run my dipseys off each side w/ the weights on a #2 setting then cores and copper on the boards. never tried anything down the chute

I have a Trophy 1952 with same set up and I run copper or a diver down the chute all the time.

You can, but unless you are keeping it under 100 feet it is like everyone else says. It wanders, it is in the middle of rigger action, it is time consuming to clear it quickly. If you only had long lines, copper, other dipsey sets, torpedoes, it would not be an issue so much. Riggers pulling close sets can get testy with chute stuff.

I used to due it a bunch and did take fish on it.

I used to run a Deep-Six diver down the middle.  No problems with tangles unless a rigger shot got into them.  The deep six will run in front of dipsys with a steeper dive curve.  The problem I found was it would kill the spread.  I think the center line was "lining" the fish coming down the middle to look at the riggers?  I don't run them anymore.

I wouldn't do it. You are just asking for problems. When bringing a fish in from the riggers, the line will rise and center, straight into that dipsey diver line.
