I run big boards and mainly only use weights for reefrunners. Will use on harnesses some. Trutrip 40 and dipsys are my main diving devices. Fast and easy to run when running 14+ rods at a time.

Harnesses by themselves have no diving qualities so with the Wt. 20ft ahead of the harness you should be able to tell how deep the wt is but the harness will be forced up by the water pushing it upward. If you change to inline Wt. system you will have a better knowledge as to where your harness is because it will be only the length of your leader away from your weight. The snap wt system works best with crank baits because most cranks have some diving ability keeping it in the targeted zone. But that diving ability has to be considered also when using the snap Wt. system as it will add depth to the known depth of the snap Wt. you are using.

I use size one (1) dipsey with ring and set at #3 & #1.5 when using 2 on a side; Set at#3, #2, #1 when using 3 on a side. With 2 people I use #3 setting and straight line 40' jet on a side. With 3 people #3 & #1.5 settings and straight line 40' jet on a side. More trash fish than tangles. Make a long arc when turning. Catch several 'eyes on the inside when turning since the dipseys fall/slow down and make a different presentation. I don't troll over/near reefs.

What's the minimum speed that dipseys work well? I tried them for a while last year and I think I was going too slow. They didn't want to side plane very well. Thanks.
