Description
Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver 30' Black Moon Jelly | Boat Supply Store
This innovative trolling lure is engineered for anglers targeting fish in complex river bottom structures. Its unique buoyant design leverages water pressure to achieve a 30 ft. running depth, and critically, it floats free when submerged pressure is released, preventing snags. The Black UV Moon Jelly coloration with a UV-bright finish enhances underwater visibility, making it ideal for back-trolling applications where precise lure placement near the bottom is paramount.
Key Features
- Dives under pressure due to buoyant water collection design
- Floats free from snags when trolling pressure is relaxed
- Preeminent diver for precise river back-trolling presentations
- Enables lure and bait placement tight to the river bottom
- Controlled-dive tool for navigating bottom structure
- Floats free if directly snagged
- Fish-attracting color patterns for enhanced strikes
- UV-bright finish for superior underwater visibility

Common Concerns Answered
Is the Black Moon Jelly color effective in all water conditions?
While the Black UV Moon Jelly is designed for broad appeal and features a UV-bright finish, its effectiveness can vary based on specific water clarity, light penetration, and local forage. Anglers may find success experimenting with this color and supplementing with other patterns based on real-time observation.
Will the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver truly avoid snags in rocky riverbeds?
The Jet Diver's core design is to float free from structure when pressure is released, significantly reducing hang-ups. While no lure can guarantee 100% snag-free operation in all scenarios, its buoyancy-activated release mechanism is highly effective in overcoming typical river bottom obstructions.
How durable is the finish on the Jet Diver with extended use?
The UV-bright finish is applied for enhanced visibility and strike attraction. Durability in extremely abrasive or prolonged harsh conditions can be influenced by fishing tactics and environment; regular inspection and care will maximize its lifespan and effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver work?
The Jet Diver features a buoyant construction that collects water pressure as it's trolled, causing it to dive. When this trolling pressure is released or slackened, the lure's buoyancy causes it to float upwards and free from the bottom structure.
What is the best way to use the Jet Diver for river back-trolling?
For river back-trolling, deploy the Jet Diver with your chosen lure or bait behind it. Control your boat's drift downstream while allowing the Jet Diver to work the bottom, adjusting line length to maintain the desired depth and lure presentation just above the substrate.
Can the Jet Diver be used with lures and live bait?
Yes, the Jet Diver is designed to effectively present both artificial lures and live bait rigs close to the river bottom, allowing anglers to target fish holding near structure.
What is the running depth of the Jet Diver?
The Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver has a specified running depth of 30 feet when trolled under appropriate conditions and speeds.
What does the UV-bright finish do for the Jet Diver?
The UV-bright finish enhances the lure's visibility underwater by reflecting ultraviolet light, which can make it more attractive to fish, particularly in deeper water or lower light conditions.
