First time Dipsy User

Hi All!!For the past 2 seasons we have been fishing solely spoons off the riggers. This year I am going to try using a dipsy/spin dr/fly combo. What is the best initial set up to use. I want to run the dipsy off the port side solo...and run a rigger on the starboard side. Any help?

Start by looking back through the posts, there are literaly dozens of posts dealing with that exact subject. Good luck

30# wire with a #1 dipsie. Roller guide rod for me.

I suggest going to wire setups for dipsies, mostly because you can get deeper, and avoid fleas. we us power pro in the spring but wire is better if you want to really get the most out of your dipsy rigs.

We use Diawa sealines 47 reels, diawa heartland 9'6" dipsy rods, 1000 feet of 30# Malin seven strand line and the larger size 0 dipsy with the ring.

Good luck!!
