How to Use Dipsy Divers For Walleye Fishing - Set Up Tips and Settings for Trolling with Dipsies

The Dipsy Diver is a diving planer designed to keep lures at a specified depth while trolling. The Dipsy Diver includes a weight that you can rotate cover different areas and depths in the water column water This allows you to troll multiple lures from your boat without tangling the lines. You can get very deep with dipsies whether you're fishing walleye, salmon, or steelhead.
Dipsy Divers are available in a variety of sizes, and can dive anywhere from 20 to 100 feet below the surface.

I love 100 foot fluorocarbon lead behind dipsys. Deadliest presentation around!

[@ArcConAK]

Would this be like a 100ft leader after the dipsy? Can you detail the setup exactly cause it sounds pretty dang good 👍

[@paulfennell01]

You mentioned 20# Flouro line for the leader from the diver to the Lure. What brand line exactly are you using? Is is Flouro Fishing Line or Flouro Leader Material? Thank you for the great videos

[@markramsey2091]

Hi Capt Ross. Love your videos. I do have a question on what size of dipsy divers you reccomend for walleye. I see there is a bunch of options and what my best option starting out would be. Thanks

[@downwitakrowdy]

Dipsy size is dependent how quickly/ length of line out you want to get down to depth. Many people including myself prefer dreamweaver dipsy divers. They have charts on their website that give depth. I prefer 82mm and 107mm. Just be prepared the 107mm will pull like crazy so you need to have a rod and reel that can handle that size.

[@mitchman432]

How many pounds for braided line ? Great video thanks !

[@WolfKillerLestat]

Hi I never used Dipsy Divers before but thinking of using them here in Ireland for pike and lake trout, my question is have they ever been used for them Species and do the colours of the divers make a difference?

[@mikeclement5383]

Can you use these with a kayak? I have been trolling a small lake by paddling for exercise. If I'm on the water, I may as well be fishing! I've been using torpedo lead and worm rigs for walleye. Pain in the ass to get the depth.

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Yes, but you probably want a sturdy rod holder

[@bob8401]

What size Dispy Diver do you use for walleyes? Also, with or without the o-ring?

[@luvingtheoutdoors6348]

Ok, can I use a snap swivel to connect my mainline and a snap swivel to connect to trip lever, and just a snap connection to my lure. Ive seen some use snap swivel on both sides of diver

[@danielboles6263]

Great video. I have a question? I fish mainly the central basin, from conneaut harbor to walnut marina in pa , my question is usually most people fish from sun up to mid afternoon, or when they limit out, we were thinking about doing a afternoon trip , have ever had a good afternoon trip , or should we stick to a morning bite ?

[@Bigwaterfishing]

If I remember right this was a late morning early afternoon trip kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGTNZH98p8uni6s

[@danielboles6263]

@@Bigwaterfishing thank you for your reply, correct me if I am wrong , I am a newbie at this with dipseys, if fishing port side you set dipseys at a right setting, and starboard at left setting. right.

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Port is left

[@danielboles6263]

@@Bigwaterfishing , thank you again. Appreciate your response.. love the videos . Good info

[@lukejohnson7825]

Would you go over when you would use dipsy divers vs planer boards for walleyes? Outside of dipsy’s being larger more intrusive is there a major reason to use one over the other?

[@Moondog9322]

Following....

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Long answer....simply put dilsy get deep quick and let you spin back on a small pod quicker I usually use both together in late summer and early fall

[@lukejohnson7825]

Awesome makes sense. Thanks

[@GS-wh4zr]

Why don't you use snubbers? Do you only use a snap at the lure end of the leader or do you use a snap swivel for spoons or anything?

[@Bigwaterfishing]

No need 4 snubber...snap only for all lures

[@NghiaPham-xi5so]

So you would want to connect your braided line to the dipsy diver and then your fluorocarbon as your leader line? Thanks

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Yes

[@NghiaPham-xi5so]

@@Bigwaterfishing How many pounds fluorocarbon would you need for kings? Also, can you use that same pound test for coho , kings etc ..... Thanks!

[@Bigwaterfishing]

Most salmon and trout guys use 20 to 25lb leader material

[@mikehill3764]

What size tekota are you using in this video?

[@Bigwaterfishing]

500

[@mikehill3764]

Curious what rod you’re using in this video? I have my 500s already, but need a rod for this tactic. Thinking compre or talora.
