Quinte Fishing

I have 4 wire diver rods. 2 are cold waters and the longer rods are blue diamond both from okuma. I have put the torpedo roller tips on all. I think okuma makes a dipsy rod with the roller at tip. ?white diamond? Shimano makes a full roller rod ?talora? I think you are near $300 for one.

As suggested earlier, getting matching setups helps. You will be able to tell from the bend in the rods if something isnt running right.

When you get your setups. First time out deploy the wire with a heavy casting spoon or dipsy in released position and let out as much wire as possible then reel it back in.

When deploying your fishing setups. Clicker on and I thumb the reel the whole way out. Going out to fast will pretty well guarantee a tangle. The dipsy will dive faster than your paddle/dr. and they are always rotating tying everything nice and tight. (Face in palms)

All of this is worth it!!! Salmon hit my dipsy setups more than anything else I run.

In deploying my dipsy, I set on clicker and loosen the drag so that wire line is taken out under tension. I keep an eye on the counter and when I reach the targeted distance, I ratchet up the drag to the point where you will hear the click of the drag when line tension increases due to other factors (ie engine surge, wave, turning a corner). And as C stated never deploy your dipsey without any tension.
