Many of the shelters are located near the firearms section in the back of the store and not so much in the fishing section where they might be expected.

I think the sizes range from #1-5 with 1 being the smallest. They differ from the conventional plastic divers (e.g. Luhr Jensen etc. in that they are metal divers and they offer much less resistance in the water yet are capable of excellent depth penetration. They operate much the same in terms of setup as the conventional plastic divers rather than as a slide diver so unless you are into hand lining fish to the net I have found it productive to limit length of lead to a little shorter than rod length especially if fishing solo.

The Chinook divers are nice in the skinny water because of less resistance and easy one hand depth adjustment, but other small sized divers will work well with 6-8 ft leads too. It isn't just on Lake O either. I've used them that way since the late seventies or early eighties on the Finger Lakes and have had the best luck with smaller light flutter spoons on them for lakers, browns, and landlocks (usually the rainbows are more difficult to locate in the early Spring). My dad even caught a money fish in the Seneca Derby with one of my home made spoons way back on them. Although the setup works best in marginally cloudy water they will hit if actively feeding in the clear stuff too. The thing I have found funny is that it is frequently mentioned that browns are line shy and adversely react to motor noise and depth finder pinging yet in the shallows in the Spring you can throw that theory out the window when they are actively feeding. Sometimes we forget that they are "opportunists" and "scavengers" and I have had the best luck lowering the diver til it hits bottom then raising it a couple feet off and the outside diver usually takes the hit on turns.

Looks like Lucky saved ya some time and trouble

You might want to check the free DEC syllabus (guide) that most sports shops, Walmart etc. carry. It contains most information and even a diagram regarding setups allowed and prohibited.

I have one located on the bow of my boat (no other option) and it is far from optimal in terms of that placement despite being remotely controlled etc.as it does emit glare when placed in front of your eyes rather than being above your field of vision because your eyes are accomodated to the darkness and the bright light out in front of you screws things up
