What dipsy do you use and why?

[fishman08]

We switched some of our dispy's over this year to magnums, and i like how it doesn't take nearly as much line to get to depth. however, we got more hits on the size 1 dipsy's than the magnums. Just wondering what you guys use and why

I use the #1 s gets to 120 fow and dont bend the rod like a noodle...But ive got 5 or 6 mags ill sell ..

not to bust on you Ray, but how do you get the #1 dipsy to go that deep with out stpping the boat,

[ray koziatek]

2.5 setting with spinny on wire 30lb 350 ft out .....dont go by the dypsy chart it ant right ,i ant no expert but ive been on the water over 2000 hrs in the last 2.5 years and 50% of the time i got dypsys down the other 50% is time ive wasted reeling in fish on them ,oh 2.2 to 2.4 mph down speed the 3 to 1 ratio with wire is pretty close, actually it dives deeper than that like 210 on the wire will hit 80 to 90 ft bottom ive cleaned enuf zebras off the hooks to prove this ..All i try to do is help folks on this site and any where i can i dont post bs when it comes to fishing (tho ive been known to toss in a funny now and then) i remember the basic learning days like they were yesterday and want to help others get into the fish faster....BUT WITH that said every trip out ima still learning and gots a long ways to go thats what keeps me comming back to the pond...One of these days me and the big boy will meet face to fin (i hope),....oh dont forget every reel is not the same or accurate the dypsy reels i have know i have measured up to 300 ft with full spool in front of ny house with 10 ft accuracy so i recomend everyone do the land work before you do the testing on the water(just dont run it across the road darn busses) P.S. if you bust on me anymore ill post another tip to help anyway i can I will never missguide anyone when it comes to fishing or hunting ( unless its during a Pro Am )

I only run mags. I run the mag walkers so that i dont have to deal with replacing rings. I like being able to get a little deeper without having to let out extra line. I bounce bottom this year in 65' out 150 and 100' out 285 going 2.2.

On what setting??? #30 seven strand?

[Gray Fox]

Pete i usually run a 2 setting, which I beleive was the setting both times. When they hit I usually tell dad and he writes down the rest as he drives. Those are the numbers from his "notes" that he keeps all the time.

#1's on 30#wire. I think the wire helps, viberations from it, like a guitar string.
