Trolling speed, line diameter and lure drag can increase or decrease these figures.  \n6  \nOnce fish have been located, you can then select the right depth and begin concentrating on that particular depth and area.  \nRunning ina straight line is the least effective approach you can take once fish have been located. Trolling in a zigzag or \"S\" pattern between two points will impart both changes of speed and depth to the Dipsy and its trailing lure, the kind of erratic action that triggers strikes from following fish.  \nFOUR DIPSY SIZES  \nThere are four different Dipsy Diver sizes to accommodate different trolling situations. The 2-1/4\" diameter 3/0 size (Mini Dipsy®) can be effectively trolled as fast as 3 m.p.h. and covers the 14-to 20-ft. depth range with a 100-to 120-ft. letback. It will easily handle 1/8-to 1/4-oz. crankbaits, taking them to depths they are unable  \nto achieve on their own. It will also effectively tow thinbladed Coyote™ Spoons, Diamond Kings™ and various weighted spoons in the 1/8-to 1/2-oz. range.  \nUsing the included O-ring the size 0 dives to 35 feet and the size 1 to 50 feet. The largest size in the Dipsy line is the Magnum. It features a heavier ballast weight in the adjustable base plate and can use a larger Monster 0-ring to take it down even deeper. Without the 0-ring it will still achieve 100 foot depths. These four Dipsys offer anglers flexibility in reaching that critical “Bite Zone”.  \nDIPSY DIVER SNUBBER  \nIt is recommended that you use a rubber snubberto absorb the shock of hard-striking or soft-mouthed fish. Rigged between the Dipsy and the lure or bait, it will result in many more well-hooked fish and successful landings.  \nDipsy Diver® Snubber  \nSHARP HOOKS PAY OFF  \nOne of the easiest things you can do to improve your catch is to maintain super-sharp hooks at all times. LuhrJensen™ hook files have proven to be the absolute best fish hook sharpening tools available and will produce a needle-sharp point in seconds. Hold the file parallel to the hook point and with gentle, one-way strokes remove a small amount of metal from at least two sides of the point. This will create both a sticky-sharp point and a knife-like cutting edge.  \nThis is one of a series of more than 25 detailed reports produced by Luhr-Jensen.

Its round shape allows for multidirectional trolling and also facilitates (with a special\"0-Ring\") instant changes in diving capability, providing the angler with two different size divers in one.  \n© Luhr-Jensen of Hood River, Oregon  \n12 Dipsy.indd 1 1/21/09 1:03:46 PM  \n\\#3 MAGNUM DIPSY DIVER® DEPTH CHART The amount of line needed to reach a desired depth is shown under each base plate setting using 20\\# monofilament line. Depths achived are without using “O” ring.  \nDepth chart readings are based on troll speed of 2.5 to 3.0 MPH using 20-lb. mono. Trolling depth achieved will increase or decrease by 10% for each one MPH faster or slower. Line diameter and lure or attractor drag can also affect depth reached. The Dipsy Diver will reach greater depths when used with wire line or line that has a smaller diameter, such as any super braid , etc.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>| 0 BAS1E PLATE SETT2ING 3 |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  | AMOUNT OF \"LINE OUT\", IN FEET, TO REACH DESIRED TROLLING DEPTH |  |  |  |\n| 20'\u003Cbr>30'\u003Cbr>40'\u003Cbr>50'\u003Cbr>60'\u003Cbr>80'\u003Cbr>100' |  | 25","cbCaicc86buWQMIR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicc86buWQMIR","pdf",539015,"English","# TECH REPORT # 12\n## A Complete Guide On How To Effectively Troll With THE DIRECTIONAL DIPSY DIVER®\n## FOUR DIPSY SIZES\n## DIPSY DIVER SNUBBER\n## SHARP HOOKS PAY OFF\n## #3 MAGNUM DIPSY DIVER® DEPTH CHART\n## DES IRED DEPTH\n## DIVERS VS.
