10# will work but i'd go with 12# myself. you want to use braid for dipsies. mono just has to much stretch for tripping a diver. most people use 30# power pro for running dipsies with a 6' to 8' fluro leader. i use 20# seaguar premier leader. when spooling braid i use 150' of 17# mono as backer on my sg17lca reels then 300' of braid. never use mono for divers it just wont work. always use a mono backing for braid. if you don't use a mono backing you'll have a problem with the line slipping on the spool. you can use 30# braid for boards and divers. no need to have reels spooled with mono and reels spooled with braid. also braid will last for yrs. I've been running the same braid for over 10 yrs. mono should be replaced at least every yr.

Eye, I know this is going to raise some eye brows but I have been running 17# strene for five or six years now. I just check the first 20 ft. or so for nicks and remove if found. Haven't had a break off yet. Knock on some wood!

Adjust the screw. What do you think they used before braid?

i fish the central basin and most times fish in rough water. if the screw is to loose all i get is false releases. i still get a few with the screws set tight enough so there not releasing all the time. and it still takes a pretty good jerk to trip a diver out 150' to 200' when the fish are deep.
just want to add if its working for you then that's great. stick with what works, right? i don't really know what was used before braid for divers. but just because it works doesn't mean mono is better than braid. to each there own. i'll stick with braid myself.Last edited by sherman51; 02-14-2018 at 02:58 PM.
