Maybe I’m doing something wrong but they seem more of a hassle than just the plain old, but effective, Dipsy diver leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Thanks for coming back with a review. They look like they should work well but I'm wondering if they allow slack in the line at the trip and let the fish off the hook? I use dipsy's and a few other divers for deep trolling Walleye's in late summer. Fun stuff when their out there.

Jim Almquist Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Because slide divers are such a pain to rig I have dedicated 2 rods for them. I also bought the weight kit to make them heavier if I want or need to go deeper but mostly keep on the lighter version. I have caught fish on them but don't feel that they are a better option then a Dipsy diver. The fish on Superior just don't seem to care about the hardware. Colors maybe but I run all clear for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have caught fish on the slide diver but I don’t notice any difference from the regular Dipsey diver and they are a pain in the one-just-like-silly-me to set up. I have Dipsy’s in all kinds of different colors and I can’t tell if that makes a difference either. I have one that actually will glow in the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
