from what i understand alot of people use wire line on ther dipsy,s to get them down deeper. i never fish lake erie deeper than 60 ft so i just use braid.

another way to get deeper is switch to the lite bite slide divers, which is what i use. you can get bigger rings that help some. but you can also get weight kits which contains a 2 oz weight and a 4 oz weight. just use the big ring and the 4 oz weight. that will help get you alot deeper.

i dont use the slide part of the diver, i just tie to the trip arm then tie about a 6 to 8 ft leader to a split ring and lace it through the back of the diver. you dont even have to use the lite bite arm unless you just want to. but i like using it. then you can set the front trip arm alittle tight so you dont get alot of false releases. then set the lite bite arm as light as you want it. when im fishing erie we get alot of white perch. if you set the lite bite arm as loose as it will go and still hold the arm even the white perch will trigger the diver.
