Slide Diver Issue

[tlombardozzi]

So I ran my slide diver for the first time this morning and really liked them but I noticed when we hooked up that they did not do very well with sliding down the line. Anything I may need to change or tips to prevent this from happening? I rigged per the instructions and video, just wondering if there is something else I may need to do.

As always, I appreciate any feedback

Thanks

Are you running them on braid or mono?

I run mine on 1000 ft of braid with 20-30ft of mono leader. I run the slide diver on the mono....never had a problem with them sliding.

Complete mono no braid

I ran out a long leader though, 80" so I wonder if I ran too far of a leader?

I don't run the spring or the tube that they include....mine slides down 20 # nicely...I commonly run them back 85 ft from the diver.

So the spring isn't required then? No issue with mono getting frayed by the arm?

Thanks for the tip

Nope.....Ive never had the arm fray the mono.....Ive been using them for probably 10 years....The mono set ups really shine in the early spring and in the fall combat trolling.....FYI I take the lite bite arms off as well.......Run just the slide diver and have not had any issues.....

I also use them with no tubing on braid with no issues. I was having problems with them sliding down with the surgical tubing.
