Can you run 2 dipseys off 1 side?

[BP Swing]

If you are not running a downrigger, can you run 2 dipseys off 1 side without a total tangle? What would work maybe 1 straight back on 0 and 1 on 3?? Has anybody tried this. ?? Thanks BP

We do it with no problems. Run the deep diver on a .5, and the high diver on a 2.5. We try and keep at least 2 settings between rods. Works fine with wire and standard size 1 dipsys.

I second Billy's comment, we also run different length rods (9's and 10's) with the longer rod to the outside dipsey (also further forward)

I agree with what both of these two just said! I have realy moved towards this set up this year since the wires outproduce the downriggers. Im not sure what it is with them this year. The only bites im getting on them are stratched way back. Oh well, for the Orleans win I ran 4 wires and in Oswego I did the same. Both times with 3 riggers and a 600 copper. In oswego it was 2 copper/4 wires/ and 2 riggers. If you have the crew for it I would reccomend it!

Only thing to change when fishing tight this fall would be a 1.5 setting and a 3.5 setting. Maybe a 3 on the wire and a 6 on the slide diver. The possabilities are endless!

Rick,

How much separation do you have bow to stern between the 9' and 10' rods on the same side??

I'm also running 10'6 rods for my high divers and 9'6 rods for my deep divers. Helps with the seperation.

There isnt any between the reels right now. I am ordering the vector quad rod holders which will let me separate them a little better, but with my current set-up there usnt much separation.

I have all of 6" or so between the dipsy rod holders on each side. I'm not sure you need any more than that...it seems to work quite well with the way we run it.

Here's a shot of my dipsy rod holder set-up:

Pay no attention to the Bayliner in the background.....

I don't know who Rick is, but since I mentioned 9's and 10's I will chime in. I keep them about a foot apart, just enough so the poles don't interfer with each other. I also keep both sets horizontal.
