Dipsey colors?

[Lakertaker187]

I'm looking into Fish I g with dipsey divers. I'm wondering what is the best colors? And why one is better than another? Thanks!

I like clear everyone else likes black they both work good

Can't go wrong with black or clear. Maybe add in white/pearl glow for an option. Can't think of the last time a different color was hot and none of the three I mentioned wouldn't catch fish.

Any color as long as it is black

Always had better luck with white / glow 3-1 ratio over black but maybe I'm weird lol

I think there is a chance of that John

Chartreuse and white rim. They work good on bright days with flashers and flies. I use to run to lead cores on boards with a mag black down the middle. Haven't had the pleasure of owning down riggers yet. Got a lot going out in fixing equipment and upgrading business gear

I like black but at 100 feet all colors are shades of grey. Black will cast the darkest shadow against what little light is reaching there. I also like chartuese, green and glow white. I have not really noticed a big difference in diver color but flasher and fly colors can make a big difference.

I buy em in any color but they almost always end up painted black

I use Black , Monkey Puke , Nuclear Pink , Glow And others . Usually try to match my  attractor or lures . I   did a test years ago scuba diving with all my lures , Dipsy Divers and what not and found out the color turns gray theory was a myth . Here is a link that might be interesting .

One of the things worth noting is that the test and the theory are based on HUMAN color perception- not that of fish. Fish are apparently capable of seeing UV rays and there are probably many other differences in their ability to perceive colors as well as more basic things such as figure/ground relationships and movement so pretty much everything we "know' about this issue is based mainly on speculation and inference despite being "scientific" based claims.

Make it easy run two colors black and green.  For some reason green always beat out the clear on my boat.   With two colors always run the same color off the same side of boat.  That way when your rushing you never have to worry if you put the diver out on the correct side.

Great tip Sean

[suttontroller94]

That it a good tip especially if you fish with inexperienced guys often or truthfully anyone

Good idea. May end up doing just that. Red and Green would be easy for port & starboard. The red will be black at the depths we run the dipsey's.
