Letting the dipsey out too fast , and it having a lead weight. The dipsey will spriral down like a tornado and the leader wraps around the diver. Then when a fish is on , you cant trip the dipsey or the fish wont trip the release arm. As Jim said, with clicker on and let it out slow, slow it down more as you get to your desired feet back, then flip the bail closed. I have run 3 per side, but some guys in the salmon world will will 4 per side. Go slow and they go right back to the same spot. Let the diver do its job.
