wire dipseys

Im new to the wire diver thing...ive heard that it works well. cold use some help selecting rod and reel for this....

A affordable setup is a daiwa accudepth 47 reel with a diawa heartland rod with twillie tip. I run two this way works fine and does not break the bank.

Agree with Jeremy. For the flx... could even use okuma classic pros with the 47lc reels. I don't have reels but do have two poles that would be perfect for you

I would add that you need a good stout rodholder! Wes

Check the classified section here. I think there's a few still posted for sale, already loaded with wire.

Make sure you get a rod with good roller guides or ceramic line guides or you will end up spending money twice.

Last year I used the Okuma Magda 30D reel with 1000' of 27lb wire and an Okuma 9' Classic Pro Dipsey Diver (or Mooching) rod with a twili tip. Two complete setups cost me about $150 and put fish on the boat.

I did step up to the Convector line of Okuma reel for this year, I just like the handle better.

There is an old saying like "once you go wire you won't go back"...........or something like that. But seriously, it is just awesome to reel in a king on wire.

I disagree.... My standard trolling rods with a $7 twilli tip have lasted 5 years and show no signs of wear and tear. I use them twice per week for abour 5 months per year.
