Do Dipsey Divers run more true than Dreamweaver Divers?  I cannot get my Dreamweavers off the wind side, not matter which size I use.  I am using 40 lb. mono on the divers.

What size divers have you been running? And what depths are you targeting?(I agree with other guys that said braid or wire is preferred but I do know some people prefer mono for shallow applications)

I never had any luck running any type of diver on mono line. IF you run 40lb braid or 30lb wire you shouldn't have any problems. I personally run 30lb wire with the dreamweavers and have never had any issues.

Agreed. We only run wire on our 2 diver/ side dipsy program on Ontario. In May we often will run a Braid slide diver shallow with a dipsy deeper on each side . On Erie we run 3 divers per side, 1 deep wire mag, 2 regular on braid .

When the fleas show up thin diameter line will load up. I run 80lb braid not for strength, but because it’s similar in diameter to 30lb mono which makes fleas a non issue.

Keep in mind that wire divers have a distinct sonic signature different from that of braid. If and when the fish are aggressive ( July here in Olcott) it is typically a very productive combo. Slide divers on braid with spoons can be very effective in May and when the bite is off I like to have 1 in the water too.
