Description
Luhr-Jensen 20' Jet Diver Black Moon Jelly | Boat Supply Store
Engineered for anglers targeting bottom-oriented structure, this 3-1/2 inch diving lure achieves a 20 ft. running depth while actively avoiding obstructions. Its unique buoyant design leverages water pressure against its wings to descend, then releases the lure to float free when pressure is reduced, preventing snags during river back-trolling applications. The UV-bright finish enhances visibility, making it an effective tool for presenting baits tight to the riverbed in challenging environments.
Key Features
- Dive under pressure with water-activated wing action.
- Float Free when pressure is relaxed, disengaging from snags.
- Present lures and baits directly on the river bottom.
- Navigate challenging structure by bumping over and releasing.
- Attract gamefish with vibrant, fish-catching colors.
- Enhance visibility in various water conditions with a UV-bright finish.
- Ideal for river back-trolling techniques.
- Reduce frustrating hang-ups in snag-filled waterways.

Common Concerns Answered
Will the 'Black Moon Jelly' color work in my local waters?
While the 'Black Moon Jelly' color is designed for broad appeal, its effectiveness can vary based on water clarity and specific forage. For optimal results, consider testing other color patterns available to determine the best match for your target species and fishing conditions.
Does the 'float free' mechanism reliably disengage from snags?
The Jet Diver's buoyant design and pressure-release system are engineered to disengage from typical river bottom structures. While highly effective, extreme snags or debris may still pose challenges, but it significantly reduces the frequency of hang-ups compared to standard diving lures.
How durable is the UV-bright finish over time?
The UV-bright finish is applied for enhanced visibility and fish attraction. While generally durable for fishing applications, prolonged and aggressive use in harsh conditions may lead to gradual wear. Regular inspection and reapplication of UV enhancers can help maintain its effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver work?
The Jet Diver utilizes water pressure against its specially designed wings to dive. As water flows over the wings, it creates downward pressure. When this pressure is released, such as by slowing the retrieve or encountering a snag, the lure's inherent buoyancy causes it to rise and float free.
What is the running depth of the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver?
The Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver is rated to achieve a running depth of 20 feet when trolled at appropriate speeds.
What are the best applications for the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver?
This diver excels in river back-trolling applications and any scenario where presenting lures close to the bottom in structure-filled environments is critical. It is particularly effective for avoiding constant snags when fishing over rocks, logs, or other bottom debris.
Does the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver float?
Yes, the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver is designed with a buoyant construction. It floats free of structure when the diving pressure is relaxed, preventing it from becoming snagged.
What is the length of the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver?
The Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver measures 3-1/2 inches in length.
