if you want to use a slide diver i recomend 50 or 65 lb power pro for line instead if wire terminate with a swivel to stop diver after release with about 6 ft good mono to stealth it up a bit and offer tiny bit of streach. then you can deploy 6 to 200 ft line or more before deploying dypsy,ive got a seperate rod reel setup for the slide and leave the dypsy on that pole all the time ,i also use twill tips on my rods (dypsys)which help saw through the fleas when they appear ... if you use the 65lb POWER PRO LINE you will get close to the same dive ratio of wire ,the slider will NOT slip and fleas WILL NOT be NOTICABLY worse with power pro than wire. if been useing this setup for 7 years same line,same dypsy,same results and i spend as much or more time on the pond as i do on this site.. and ive never had a cutoff on a powerpro dypsy line from a rigger fish cumming up and sawing off on the wire... but i still have 3 wire rods for reg dypsy setups as i belive the wire somehow attracts the fish ,be it elect field,sound and viberation, or some other mystical force ,not yet discoverd my man and know only by the fish and UFO'S...
