Dipsy

[badboards]

I was reading over your reply again. Some people don't use snubbers how important is it. Also if you have 1 line on the out side on a number 3 setting does the inside line need a dipsy. Can it be straight back on a snap weight.

If you run your inside line with only a snap weight or something, it'll end up in your way when your catching Dipsy fish... unless you want to try to reel them in and net them off that side of the boat.

And my 2 cents on snubbers: yes, yes, YES, and HELL YES RUN THE SNUBBERS!!! In my early years, I was losing a lot of fish on the Dipsy's... both strikes that didn't get hooked up, and losing them reeling them in.... until I went to the snubbers. We land better than 90% of fish hooked up on Dipsy's now...probably 95%+...
