Most of the time I run it a little farther out 140, 160 and sometimes 180. I'm not saying this is good but sometimes ( except for this year ) it works. Although sometimes when I bring it up to check the bait I find that I can't release the dipsy and find the line tangled around it. I think that I let the line out too fast? Or maybe it's looping ( doing a circle )? This depends on the size of the dipsy and conditions.

What about those jet divers? They seem interesting. Not sure if they will get that deep though.

I use jet divers sometimes off the planer boards and sometimes I long line them streight off the transom. They are marked with a # on the rounded nose portion of the jet diver. Sometimes it's hard to see but it's there. That equals to the depth that they will run at with a given speed. We sometimes put a in line lead weight in front of them to get them down a little farther. I'm not exactly sure how deep we are but sometimes it works?

Just browsing and ran across this thread and thought this might help some.
