Description
Luhr-Jensen 30' Jet Driver Blue UV Moon Jelly | Boat Supply Store
Designed for anglers targeting structure-laden river bottoms, this 4-inch trolling diver achieves a 30-foot running depth. Its unique buoyant construction collects water pressure, forcing it to dive, then releases it to float free when encountering submerged obstacles. This mechanism prevents snags and ensures effective bait presentation directly over feeding fish, particularly during river back-trolling applications.
Key Features
- Dives under pressure via innovative buoyant design collecting water against wings
- Floats free over structure when water pressure is relaxed, preventing snags
- Preeminent diver specifically engineered for river back-trolling
- Enables precise bait presentation positioned tightly to the river bottom
- Designed to bump over bottom structure and release if stuck
- Fish-attracting color patterns enhance visibility and appeal
- UV-bright finish maximizes light energy reflection for superior underwater visibility
- No installation required, attaches directly to fishing line

Common Concerns Answered
Will the fixed 30-foot running depth limit my fishing options?
The 30-foot running depth is optimal for presenting lures and baits precisely near the bottom in many riverine environments and trolling scenarios. Its fixed depth ensures consistent performance, and its ability to float off structure mitigates concerns about snags that can occur with adjustable divers in tight cover.
Is the Blue UV Moon Jelly color and UV-bright finish effective in my local waters?
The UV-bright finish significantly enhances visibility by reflecting more light energy, making it effective in a wide range of water clarities and light conditions. The Blue UV Moon Jelly pattern is a proven fish-attractor, particularly in freshwater river systems.
Does this diver get easily hung up on riverbed structure?
No, the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver's unique buoyant design is specifically engineered to navigate bottom structure. It dives under pressure and floats free when pressure is released, allowing it to bump over snags rather than getting stuck.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver work?
The diver's innovative buoyant design collects water pressure against its specially shaped wings, causing it to dive. When this pressure is released, such as by a change in boat speed or encountering an obstruction, the diver floats free.
What is the running depth of the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver?
This specific model, the 30' Jet Driver, has a running depth of 30 feet.
What is the purpose of the UV-bright finish on the Jet Diver?
The UV-bright finish reflects more light energy in the water column, significantly increasing the lure's visibility to fish, especially in lower light conditions or deeper water.
Can the Jet Diver be used for river back-trolling?
Yes, it is explicitly designed as a preeminent diver for river back-trolling applications, allowing for precise lure placement close to the bottom without frequent snags.
What types of lures or baits can be used with the Jet Diver?
The Jet Diver is designed to present lures and baits effectively. It is commonly used with various trolling spoons, spinners, and artificial baits that can be attached behind the diver via your fishing line.
