Description
Luhr-Jensen 30' Jet Diver - Purple UV Moon Jelly | Boat Supply Store
This 4-inch Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver is engineered for precise depth control in challenging river environments. Its innovative buoyant design activates under towing pressure, enabling a controlled descent to a 30-foot running depth, while releasing lures to float free when pressure is relaxed, effectively navigating tight to river bottom structure. This mechanism is paramount for presenting baits and lures close to the bottom without the excessive snagging common in back-trolling applications.
Key Features
- Dives under pressure via buoyant water-collecting wings
- Floats free from structure when towing pressure is released
- Preeminent diver for controlled river back-trolling techniques
- Enables precise lure and bait presentation tight to the river bottom
- Bumps over bottom structure and disengages when snagged
- Fish-attracting color patterns for increased visual appeal
- UV-bright finish enhances visibility in various water conditions
- 4-inch size optimized for targeted presentations

Common Concerns Answered
What if the color selection is limited?
While specific color options may vary, the Purple UV Moon Jelly is scientifically formulated with UV-bright properties to maximize visibility for predatory species in diverse water clarity conditions, ensuring effective attractant qualities.
Is it durable in rough conditions?
Constructed with marine-grade materials, this lure is designed for consistent performance. For extreme conditions, regular inspection and maintenance of your fishing line and terminal tackle are recommended for overall system integrity.
How does the diving mechanism perform in different water conditions?
The Jet Diver's buoyant design is inherently responsive to water pressure, allowing it to dive consistently and float free. This makes it particularly effective in dynamic river currents where precise bottom contact is desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver work?
The Jet Diver utilizes a unique, buoyant design with wing-like structures that collect water pressure as it's towed. This pressure forces the diver to descend. When the towing pressure is released or reduced, the lure floats upwards and away from the bottom structure.
What is the recommended use for the Jet Diver?
The Jet Diver is primarily recommended for trolling applications, particularly back-trolling in rivers. Its design excels at presenting lures and baits tight to the river bottom in snag-prone areas.
What makes the Jet Diver effective for river back-trolling?
Its effectiveness in river back-trolling stems from its ability to dive under pressure and then float free when that pressure is relaxed, allowing it to bump over bottom structure and avoid snags while keeping baits in the strike zone.
What does the UV-bright finish do?
The UV-bright finish enhances the lure's visibility in water by reflecting ultraviolet light. This can be particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or in deeper water, making the lure more attractive to predatory fish.
What is the running depth of the Jet Diver?
This specific Luhr-Jensen Jet Diver is designed to reach a running depth of 30 feet when trolled at appropriate speeds and line lengths.
