That’s the same way we set our high and low divers. Agreed. Simple and it works. Well done Bill.

got my old buddy and pal joe perkins here outtaa arizona dark overcast conditions as u can see in the back round shark in the boat and thats the name of the game

Thanks for the info. This summer going to try out dipsy divers on Lake Ontario.

Thank you so much. I’m new to this and I have been hating dipsey divers. I can’t wait to try this rig set up and letting out the dipsey diver.

Great Video as always Capt. Bill... Dipsey's are underutilized and started using them again myself this year. No salmon where we are in the Pocono's, but use this technique for stripers as well...

It is wire line. Generally 30-40 lb. test. The purpose is to get the presentation deeper., The wore line let's the angler acheive a greater depth than with monofilament.

Good video about dipsy divers. Thanks. Nice plug for my old buddy George Kogut too, lol. Used to fish out on Lake Ontario with him about 30 years ago. We had a mutual friend of mine from High School is how I met George. We used the dipsys early Spring back then I believe. We used to hang out every weekend. Wished him a happy Retirement last year from Corrections. Good luck fishing and thanks again for the video.

Is that a wire line from the diver to the reel? What is the purpose of the wire? To get it down deeper? And how much wire is on the reel??

With the different sizes of Dipsey's out there, how much line do you let out from your rod to get that dipsey to the depth where it's supposed to run? Will be trying the Dipsey's for the first time for salmon this spring when they will be still shallow before going deeper during the summer. Thanks Bill

Hey Bill, I'm a Canuck fishing on the north shore east of TO. Been watching your videos for years, love em'. I've been running mono on my dipeys (self taught a few years ago, still working out the kinks), and just lost 6 fish on them last weekend (probably due to the stretch), 4 of them hogs. My rods aren't specific dipsey rods, but downrigger rods. Would wire mess up the eyes on the rod if it isn't a dipsey rod? Would like to switch to wire, but thinking braid would be better on the eyes.

This guy knows his shit. Thanks for the info

What size rubber band to use for holding line to reel ? Thank you....

Thanks Tangled Tackle Fishing Team! Best of luck this season......

Where can I purchase a pack of those those flys already setup?

What is the wire line you use on the rod and how much on the reel?

I'm from Washington state and we don't let salmon bleed out on the way in as we have to release wild Kings we aren't even allowed to take them out the water

Also, how much wire with a dipsy? Do you do 300, 200, 180, or 150 when using wire on dipsy?

Was this filmed in the 60's?

How long is the leader from the diver to the flasher? How long is the leader from the flasher to the lure?I assume the setup would be the same for a Pink Lady or Deep 6 diver.

So do you run wire straight to the dipsy, or do you have a leader between the wire and the dipsy?

ok.....here's a question...I'm having kings slam my divers and catching quite a few but many times a king hits and as I pull the rod from the holder the fish gets off....happens mostly the past few days on flasher fly combos.....any suggestions?

I run 50lb super braid to my dips. I feel it’s less drag. Lake Huron here they like the bright snubbers. My catch is marginal to good but looking for something new. Suggestions?

Oh my too funny when the girl says “holy crap” you can tell how blown away she is when you bring it into the boat. Ain’t nothing staged in that kind of reaction. Too cool.

Whats the ratio or formula you use to set the baits at a depth. I'm struggling to find a baseline to set my divers. I have been using a 3-1 rule for #1 divers on a 3 setting so to get down 70 feet - i set it around 210.

Show me how to run 2 divers per side.. thanks

12 feet how are you going to land the fish?

That's exactly how I've been running dipseys the last 22 years. Only difference is my lead is 24"

It's not even January and I'm getting itchy!!!!!!

I was put fishing the ocean here in vancouver over the weekend with a few friends of mine. None of us actually know what were doing but we did manage to get into a few undersized fish and one fish over 29". Now we seen a whole bunch of boats way way off shore and decided to venture out and see if they were fishing for salmon and sure enough they were. Everything i read says you want to aim for water 40-150 feet deep for best trolling. But where everybody was the depth was over 600-800 feet deep. We talked to one boat the made a hand gesture to our question and they had landed 5 keepers. We fish 130-175 feet deep and were catching small fish. What i want to know is how do you judge what depth to fish in water like that and are your trying to always troll with the current because we kept popping our lines out of the clips any time we tried to troll against the current. I am open to any and all information thanks for everyones time.

Why the snubber?
