Dipsy Divers

[strat-o-caster]

Need some help, I tryed Dipsy divers for the first time on Wed, they didn't seem to pull that hard. Someone said you can't put them on the planner boards... True /False please help me out.. Thanks John

About the planer boards, I have never tried to fish then with dipsies. I would think the dipsie would pull to hard on the planer board. Besides they both do the same thing, get your lures out away from the boat. I just use 1 or the other myself.

You need to make sure that you had your release set on the dipsie. If you have it set the dipsie should be pulling hard down and if you move the dial to one side or the other it will also pull to the side of your boat. You will know when your dipsie is working because it will dive immediately and it will feel like you have a 5lb fish on that rod allready.

Make sure that you have a stiff enough rod to handle the trolling pressure from the dipsie and the force that a fish is going to exert when it hits also.

One more thing you might want to check is that they are not on backwards, Make sure the weighted plate is in the front.
