Dipsy depth
With the same amount of line out and same setting which diver is deeper. One diver with 30# braided or diver with 20# mono ???

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 packagingFirst mate for Eyehunter Charters

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

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.Last edited by Mrwiggler; 08-09-2019 at 09:50 AM.

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.
