Fishing with the Morris Crew...Jeff, Jeffery, and Christian 8/23/2021

I was able to buy two Dipsy "like" Deeper Divers off Ebay, but these are a bit smaller at 92 mm which works out to be about 3 5/8" in diameter.

Did I make a mistake buying the smaller Deeper Divers or is there not much difference, etc.

They make Dispy's and Deeper Divers in a variety of colors, but I don't recall you saying what colors you use.

Morning Dave,
I don't have any experience with the ones you bought. Just try them. I'm sure the packaging came with a dive curve chart for them. As long as the dive curve is correct, you should be able to look at your electronics and see where the fish are hanging out at and target the depth just above them.

I like plain black ones best.....for no particular reason. I have all kinds of colors, but I always put the black ones on. It's just my preference.

Good Morning Captain Juls,

Thanks everyone for responding.

These are the ones I bought.

They have a brief chart on the webpage which I guess is a start.

I'm using 30 lb Spiderwire braid to connect to the diver. That line is crazy thin. I've always used monofilament in the past.

I am using some old Penn 209 reels that my Dad gave me and I had to wind some monofilament onto the spool first before I put on the Spiderwire line. Otherwise the drum was way too small in diameter for this high tech braided line.

Are there any phone apps worthwhile that work with these? Or am I complicating things? I sometimes tend to overthink things.

So I read that many folks use fluorocarbon line for a leader between the diver and the lure.
I have a bunch of 20lb Monofilament. Would I be dumb to use that instead of buying some fluorocarbon line?

I've read that others commonly use black divers as well. I wonder if walleye might try and hit the diver if it is too flashy? That could be counter productive.

I guess I can paint the ones I have black if they don't work well as they are. Or should I just paint them black and be done with it?

Thanks, Dave
