Please help with dipsey/jet divers

When are they recommended? Trout/Salmon?

[Uncle Buck]

Wire Dipsy definitely needs a snubber...

 

Braid Dipsy should get one aswell or , splice on a piece of mono to act as a shock absorber...

 

if using a mono dipsy, then make sure you check your release tension... you don't want to be reeling in a loaded dipsy with 300feet of line...

 

Note: Don't pump the rod when walleye fishing, it aint a salmon, and you'll pull the hook out...

hey UB, learned that one last week on erie, didnt even know there was a fish on. there i am reefing on the rod trying to get the release to err release.. reeled up alot of line only to see a fish on the end too..

 

any tips on setting that release properly?

Uncle Buck has a great piece of advice there about..NOT pumping rod....just reel...reel...and ummm...reel

 

We aren't running snubbers for eyes........braid on the rods...long floro leads on the harnesses, samer as the small dipsies off the inline boards.

 

You want the dipsies set so just a good solid jerk/hookset should release them,tough on the arms reeling in a fish on a loaded dipsy

i think i'll have to do a little playin around to get it setup proper.. you're not kidding about it being tough on the arms, i'll chalk it up to being good rehab..
