Jerk bait for dipsy

[Captainhooked]

I wondered the same thing. I know a lot of people use them. But it's hard to find a stick bait that doesn't dive down some. Lot of guys use worm harnesses. I don't think I would run a deep plug.

You can run any shallow crank behind dipsys. I use the Bandit Shallow Walleye and Michigan Stinger spoons mostly.

The shallow Bandits behind dipsys took a lot of walleye last year.

Hey Capt. E, it's my understanding that if you put a deep diver behind a dipsy it will dive lower than the dipsy , driving the back end of the dipsy down,raising the front and counteracting the dipsys diving action. It kinda throws off your dive curve.

I agree, it probably does effect the dive curve some... but we still run em! Quite often! And if I find I'm catching fish on a #1 setting at 47 back, I keep putting it back out. Probably not running the same depth as a #1 setting pulling a scorpion spoon... I think the dipsy's are heavy enough, and pulling 10 times harder than a bandit alone, that the bandit doesn't have a super drastic effect on it.
