Some pretty great information in this tutorial.

Also netting Dipsy's by yourself can be very difficult, Shorter rods with shorter leaders may help but I would think at a price. Shorter rods will make it harder to read when you have a fish on.

I too find myself fishing solo from time to time and struggle with Dipsy's. I made an extension for my net so now its about 8 feet long. Good luck and I will be interested to hear your results.
