100# Spro from terminal end of wire to Dipsy trip arm. 100# Spro from terminal end of Dipsy to 9' fluoro leader. 60# Spro from end of leader to flasher

 

Good luck,

Can u just tie wire directly to the dipsey?

The size of the ones that come on the front of Spin Doctors work well. No real need to be stealthy for that connection.

Sure you can, but I wouldn't advise it for a few reasons.  (1) you have to then transport your rod will all that extra weight bouncing around, not good for the rod or wire.  (2) you may have to change dipseys - either size (shallower, deeper) or color.

 

There's also no point in avoiding the swivel on a dipsey. It is not a stealth setup like a spoon, so you don't win anything by doing this.
