I use the lite bite slide divers on the central basin and have run them as slow a 1.5 with no problems. I set the lite bite arm loose so that little fish will trip them. and I like to run them from 1.5 to 2.0 depending on what the fish want. I use them like a dipsy and have never used the slide part of the diver. I just tie my leader to an o ring and lace it through the back going in the lite bite arm. I use about 7' to 9' leaders.
