only buy 2 dipseys to start with
make sure you buy the bigger deeper ones with auto release
a lot of people try dipseys a few times and stop using them
for me they were a waste of money - to many tangles
you have to keep them far enough apart
as far as using 4 poles with no planer boards
there are going to be tangled lines
I use 1 - 6 oz. of weight instead
there is nothing wrong with trying something new - I did so myself
start with 2 then see how much you like them
E-Bay has better prices
