Dipsy rod suggestions


Recommended Posts

Going to be upgrading my dipsy rods. All set for reels as I have convector 30s with wire. Looking for suggestions on roller rods specifically for the finger lakes so something light enough to still have a nice feel of the fight

That's a tough balance to strike. Dipsy rods need to withstand constant strain, so by nature they're not going to be amenable to really feeling a smaller fish. I will second the Talora rods - we use the 8' and 9' non-roller models with Twili tips - and I'd guess that the roller model would help to maximize what you'd get out of a smaller trout. Using a diver that has very little drag when released like a Chinook diver could help, too. Let us know what you go with and how it works out.
