I see this thread seems to have migrated to another one, but anyway.... the 4-3/4" Deep Walleye Bandit is the one everyone is using.... both shallow...

001 Dipsy is the way to go... deepest dive on shorter lead keeps it out of the way of your board lines. Many others have already said on the other...

Was too bad we didnt get that two week cold spell in January to make better ice for the ice fishermen.At least they were able to get in some fishing...

Walleye and whitetail are good reasons to live in Ohio. 🙂

Green clown, and get yourself some snap weights 1oz and 2oz'ers....I personally don't mess with dispy's fishing the western basin.

Thanks Bob, nice source. Reading more, it appears Dipsey divers don't work well below a min speed (ie 1.5?). So below 1.5 do boards work well? ...

Since you are new to running bandits, the best thing you can do is go to precision trolling data website and watch their video to see how deep your...

I don’t have a kicker yet. I wonder if I put a hydraulic AP on my main and use drift socks if the AP would troll. Did you install?
