Frequently Asked Questions
How do I adjust the Dipsy Diver's trip mechanism?
The trip mechanism is adjusted by rotating the diver's body to set the desired tension. A lighter tension results in earlier release, while a heavier tension allows for deeper running before tripping.
How do I set the Dipsy Diver to run left or right?
To set the directional steering, rotate the diver's body to align the marked indicator with the desired direction (left or right). This will cause the diver to pull the lure to that side.
What is the maximum running depth of the Luhr-Jensen Dipsy Diver?
The Luhr-Jensen Dipsy Diver is rated for a maximum running depth of 50 feet, depending on lure weight and line length deployed.
What type of fishing is the Dipsy Diver best suited for?
The Dipsy Diver is optimally suited for trolling for various game fish, including salmon, walleye, and lake trout, allowing anglers to present lures away from the boat's wake and at specific depths.
How does the UV reflection feature benefit visibility?
The UV reflective properties enhance the diver's visibility in various water conditions by reflecting more light energy, making it more attractive to predatory fish.
