    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

    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.

    From Dreamweaver website

    Deeper Diver Size 107

    25 lbs mono line
    Line Out (Feet) 25 50 75 100 150 200 250
    Depth Setting 0 14 30 40 50 60 65 70
    Depth Setting 1 15 30 35 45 55 60 65
    Depth Setting 2 15 25 30 40 50 55 60
    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.
