Description
Luhr-Jensen Jet Driver 20ft Blue UV Moon | Boat Supply Store
This innovative trolling device is engineered for anglers targeting structure-rich river environments where snagging is a persistent challenge. Its unique buoyant design actively collects water pressure to achieve a controlled dive to 20 feet, then relaxes to float free upon pressure release, preventing hang-ups on bottom debris. This mechanism allows for exceptionally precise bait presentation directly along the riverbed, even in high-current conditions. The Blue UV Moon Jelly color scheme, enhanced with a UV-bright finish, significantly increases visibility to predatory species lurking near the bottom.
Key Features
- Dives to 20 ft. for effective depth control.
- Buoyant design collects water pressure to dive, aiding deep presentations.
- Floats off structure when pressure is relaxed, minimizing snags.
- Ideal for river back-trolling in challenging bottom conditions.
- Allows presentations of lures and baits tight to the river bottom.
- Bumps over bottom-structure and floats free when stuck.
- Fish-attracting colors designed for high visibility.
- UV-bright finish enhances visibility in varied light conditions.

Common Concerns Answered
How reliable is the snag-free performance in all situations?
While engineered for superior snag resistance by floating free when pressure is relaxed, extremely dense or uniquely shaped bottom structures may still pose a challenge. Adjusting trolling speed and line angle can further optimize its performance in complex terrain.
Can the diving depth be precisely controlled?
The stated 20-foot diving depth is a guideline. Factors such as line diameter, trolling speed, and the specific lure or bait presentation will influence the exact running depth achieved. Experimentation with these variables is recommended for optimal results.
Is the Blue UV Moon Jelly color always in stock?
Popular color patterns can experience high demand. While we strive for continuous availability, specific color options may occasionally have limited stock. Checking current inventory is advised for time-sensitive purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep does the Luhr-Jensen 20' Jet Driver dive?
The Luhr-Jensen 20' Jet Driver is designed to dive to a maximum depth of 20 feet.
What is the primary application for the Luhr-Jensen Jet Driver?
Its primary application is for river back-trolling and presenting baits tight to the river bottom, especially in snag-prone environments.
How does the Jet Driver's design help prevent snags?
The Jet Driver features a unique buoyant design that collects water pressure to dive. When this pressure is relaxed, such as when it contacts structure, it floats free, significantly reducing the likelihood of snags.
What does the UV-bright finish on the Jet Driver do?
The UV-bright finish enhances the lure's visibility to fish, particularly in low-light conditions or deeper water, by reflecting ultraviolet light.
Is the Luhr-Jensen Jet Driver suitable for both trolling and river back-trolling?
Yes, the Jet Driver is specifically designed for both general trolling applications and particularly excels at river back-trolling due to its snag-resistant and bottom-hugging capabilities.
