How to Setup and Use a Dipsy Diver | Fastest Way to Get the Right Depth

The Dispy Diver is the best combination of speed and ease when starting to troll for and catch fish at target depths. It is excellent in the big deep waters of the Great Lakes, and can easily target fish from 10 - 70 feet deep. We show you how to set up a Dipsy Diver, so you can take the guess work out and get to catching your target fish. We use them on the Central Basin of Lake Erie and target Walleye and Steel Head (Rainbow trout). We also show you one of our tricks to allow for a stealthy presentation when the fish just don't want to bite and aren't looking for a lot of flash. Painting your Dipsy diver and snubber a flat black is a great way to avoid spooking fish.
