The braid will be deeper, 30 braid is about the diameter of 10 mono
A dreamweaver 107, similar to a dipsey, just larger around and bo ring. On the package. 3 setting on braid 50ft back at speeds 2.1ish its running 29 ft down
With 25 mono its 20 ft down.
Again this is from their packaging
×2 what Ben said.30lb braid still thinner diameter than 20lb mono
Plus mono is more buoyant. So even if they were the same diameter, braid would go deeper.
So I have precision trolling app loaded and purchased the dive chart for #1 Dipsy (Standard Ring) - Setting 3 and it tells me using 30# braid at 2.5 MPH with 50ft out I am 15 ft down. This is not correct according to all my replies ?? Am I dumb or what
You are correct 2.5mph 50ft back is running about 15ft down on 3 setting.Quote:

Depth Setting 3 10 20 25 35 45 50 55
The Dipsy #1 w/ring, and Dreamweaver #107 deeper diver have different dive amounts, as they are not exactly the same...........also note this is based on #25 mono, and #30 braid is considerally thinner, so it will be deeper.
Still confused, I understand there is a slight difference Dipsy and dreamweaver but my chart that came with the new dipsy reads
#1 with ring 2.5mph 20# mono 3 setting 50ft out = 24ft down
#1 with ring 2.5mph 30#braid 3setting 50ft out = 15ft down.
Quite a difference so either the diver chart is wrong or the precision trolling is wrong. Guess IÂ’ll just have to find a soft bottom and touch down to determine which chart to believe . Thanks for all the input gentlemen
Just looked at my dipsey chart and it is based on 20lb mono.My #1 dipsey with ring on 3 setting shows 24ft deep too.I would say the braid would run it a foot or two deeper.That 15ft deep is incorrect.
The 30# braid is .013 dia. same as Trilene 10lb mono.
I dont know how much it effects the diving of these larger disc. But I know on cranks mono floats alot more than braid. This normally is only really an issue with shallow divers or long leads.
But I would not use a 10lb mobo for my.main on this style diver
Does anyone else use this Precision Trolling App, if so do you find it accurate. I have tried to contact them but no reply.
Always....!Quote:

I'm new to this site, but thought I would throw in my two cents worth. I have the troll master app, and punched in your basic info. That app shows me your at approx. 27.5 ft on those settings. This app is very helpful to me and can be downloaded for 5 or 6 bucks.
Hope this helps!
Braid will be deeper
