I wondered the same thing. I know a lot of people use them. But it's hard to find a stick bait that doesn't dive down some. Lot of guys use worm...

Maybe that explains why Cabela's DepthMaster combo's our completely out of stock. They had 1 left and I didn't buy it because I needed 2.... I hate...

Hey Capt. E, it's my understanding that if you put a deep diver behind a dipsy it will dive lower than the dipsy , driving the back end of the dipsy...

As far as batteries go, group 31 gives you the most runtime. Duracell AGM batteries are a solid, economical choice. If you have a Sam's club...

Me and the wife have trolled 4 years with only 2 poles one on each side. Only used weights to get the lines down to where the fish are. Guess I never...

Being old and forgetful, I stand corrected-snubber goes behind dipsey. Some guys put them in front. Sorry for the mix-up. Normal for me anymore.

I wish this thread was published two years ago when i started using dipsys. Would have really helped out, great info here- this should almost be a...

Big yes on the snubber. I even started using snubbers on jet divers run straight back. Have not lost many fish since.

Yes Eric,looking forward to the start of fishing season and seeing my fishing buddies again.Texted Keith yesterday and asked how his leg healing.Said...

Hey Bob, you ready for the shakedown runs this year? If Mother Nature stays calmed down, we're only about 52 days away now!

yes, snubber behind the dipsy to keep the fish hooked... When it gets a little sporty out though I will tighten the release... just my personal...

If that’s good enough for all the fishing you do, it’s good enough for me! Lol

Will do Bob. Thanks for the additional information.

most people put the snubber behind the dipsey but when it's really rough out a snubber in front of the dipsey helps with false releases from the wave...

We run 2 dipseys and 1 jet on each side. Dipseys set at 3.5 and 1.5. When we catch on a dipsey, we move the jet to the center of the boat to a rod...

Agree with Capt Eric on using snubbers.A dipsey on a 3 setting dives fast and could tangle with an inside line that is not beeper and shorter than...

I didn't realize that you trolled that slow in the spring. I'll make a note if that. Plainer boards it will be.

I second that....

I can't really say..... I think you lost me at 1.5 in the spring. Most of our early spring to mid spring days are spent at 0.8 to 1.1, maybe 1.2...

If you run your inside line with only a snap weight or something, it'll end up in your way when your catching Dipsy fish... unless you want to try to...

Put a 2oz or 3 oz weight in front of them to get them to the depth you want. I bet they catch fish and even walleye. Try adding 1 foot of depth for...

I was reading over your reply again. Some people don't use snubbers how important is it. Also if you have 1 line on the out side on a number 3...

Thanks Bob. That is a lot of good advice. Can't wait to get out there. Be a while before we will be using dipsys but since I just bought them my...

There really is no info on how far out a dipsey runs.That would depend on lead and speed.We run dipseys a lot once the spoon bite starts catching.But...

Planer board trolling cranks would produce much better than any dipsey imho.

Trolling in the spring would be at 1.5 or faster. I was just wondering if you do troll 1.5 or more would the small mini be better or worse than a...

Yes It sounds like you answered my question. I've never used the larger dipsy and was having a hard time finding any information about how far out...

Usually trolling pretty slow speeds for spring walleye, in which, any weighted diver tends to work more against you than for you.. I don't think...
