like i said above i use scottys for everything and i am in the eastern basin where the water is deep and i pull #1 dipseys with the rings i have dipseys out all the time i don't have any trouble i use 20# braid and sometimes i have 250 ft.and more of line out you want your poles straight out or slightly down when pulling dipseys i dont know where you fish or the depth of water , i fish in 100
ft. of water and fish are 60 and 70 ft. down and have to use braid or wire
line to get there , scotty holders will work for you but the tube type holders would be probibly be better bob
