For the mag slide divers with the big ring and extra weight kit, I can get 80 down with 180 feet of wire out set on 1 setting. That’s with 8” paddle and Twinkie rigs. I got them for the reason you are asking cuz I fish solo a lot, and I hate hand lining or messing with clipped on Dipsey deal. I don’t think regular slide diver will get it done, like you said.

I use mag slide divers if I want to run meat on my low divers. Set 15 feet from diver to paddle. Use a bead at the swivel. Easy to net. Some days they work great. I avoid running them in bad cross currents cuz things can tangle.

My wife and I had a great 2 day trip to OO. We camped at Lakeside state park and launched at OO Marine park. My normal program is Wilson early, then East end. Life is busy so we trailer at this stage of life, and we enjoy camping/fishing different areas a few times per year. Friday 7/7- 130 to 160 FOW West was fire. 45 to 70 down. Mag Spoons on riggers. Diehard and 42nd. Kings, coho, steel all mixed. Kept the bleeders and boxed before 10. Sat 7/8. - set up in 130 headed North. Made the turn South in 400 fow when we were 1 shy of a box. Constantly hooked up the whole way out and back. Lost countless fish between currents, tangles, fleas, washing machine waves, and just 2 of us doing battle. Awesome morning. Hot king rod was green on green Atomic twinkie down 90 over everywhere. Steel, cohos, teenagers on all the higher rods. Hot fishing, weather, camping, site seeing, great food, great area. Doesn’t get any better!
