Tadpoles or dipseys?

[ReelTime]

In all fairness I think Skipper9 was just saying he prefers the 40 TT's and not being sponsored by BigFishTuff (40 tru trips) just so others didn't think he was steering them towards a product for personal reasons. Just my .02 cents.

Maybe, but that he brought up the fact that I was a pro staffer suggested to me that he thought I was "pushing" a product simply for that reason.

Why point that out otherwise?

Don't put all pro staffers in the same bucket. Some bad apples give all of us a bad image...I know.....sigh.

By the way, I have Tru-Trips on the boat too.

when it comes to tad poles I think the guys who fish inline weights switch to tad poles when the lake is choppy I heard that inlines when its choppy move up and down quite a bit and the tab poles reduce's the sway. I would run a dipsey any day of the week over a tab off of the corner of the boat. I only use them when in about 25 fow or deeper. The dipsey diver is an awesome weapon.

I couldn't agree more. I only use Tadpoles off the boards...out away from the boat.

Dipsies off the corners here too....or, a BB.

I use tadpoles behind inlines as well and tru trips / dipseys off the back. Also, I don't think skipper meant anything by the pro staff callout, seemed more like a call for your expertise on the matter due to your affiliation and his brand neutrality. I do read and appreciate your detailed fishing reports, thanks for taking the time to write them; both Juls and Skipper.

If that's really the case, then I apologize for getting defensive. My bad.

Capt Juls, I was pointing put you were an expert on off shore equipment. I was only pointing out that I am not an expert on any equipment and dd not endorse or am sposored by any equipment manufacturers. I said dipsys work but I use the walker 107 mm. Myself. So please give your opinion and I will give my humble opinion and neither of use should take it personal. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.. good luck to ecery one on the water my friends

So sorry...I misunderstood.

By the way, I always read your posts, because I can learn from you too. I'm no expert either, just another goof that likes to chase walleye around a big lake and pretend I'm smarter than their tiny little pea sized brain, and from time to time be very humbled by their chess match like out maneuvering.

I personally prefer the true trips because Bigfishtuff is a local company and Dan stands behind the product and will always pick up the phone to gladly answer a question. The tadpoles are a great product and work well but as already stated there is no comparison between a dipsey and a tadpole because they serve 2 entirely separate purposes.

I think you are more than just another goof....IMHO : )
