Dipsey Rigging Tips?

[MarkNY]

hey guys, ive recently been getting into fishing dipseys. finally been having some good success on my home waters for lakers, browns and giant smallmouth. i have two 9'/ line counter combos and one spinning rod setup with a clamp on counter. i have them rigged with 20# mono. one problem ive had is the line twisting around the release with the setup that doesnt have a flasher. shortening the leader seemed to help some. is there something else that could be wrong, causing twist? also, can i run a spoon behind a flasher? ive only used flies behind the flasher thus far. what other types of rigging/lures can i use with a dipsey? id appreciate any thoughts you have on this. best, mark

What kind of release are you using? Be sure to lower it down very slow in the water.

hi bluewater, i mean the release on the dipsey. i think it was a combination of letting out too fast and excessive leader length. ive got a better handle on it now. best, mark

yer letting out to fast or turning sharp the line goes slack and it will let the dypsy spin
