Dive bombs

[wishinfishin]

Never tried them, do people like using them ?? what the advantage over say snap weights ,or some other lead weight you add .

 

Can you use them on copper , add says you can , but adds always say you can do everything.

 

Any thoughts??

I use them. Get an extra 8 feet per ounce. Use them on copper to get down a little deeper when needed.

I guess you wouldnt put it on the copper itself , but the leader where it meets the copper .

 

How far from spoon or lure do you think is a good number to not spook fish.

 

8 ft per ounce, hmm, good to know.

Yes you can put them on the copper. Its not gonna hurt a thing.

i use them on leadcore as well, they work well for making a 5 color into a 7 color.

I wouldn't attach it directly to lead core. It will break the lead. I would attach it to the leader or backer.

Use dive bombs quite a bit. Sunday couldn't get the lead cores to fire. Switched over to a 2 oz dive bomb and started getting fish off the boards

did you attach to the lead core to go deeper or use different line??

Yes Matt, you can put them on the core. Its such a long attachment their is no pinching the core. I'm a dive bomb pro since they came out. Hence, why I don't own a copper over 350. Lol

Switched up 3 and 4 color cores to 12lb mono rods and added 2 oz dive bomb which will get ya right around 3 and 4 color depth

Some days the lead core is non stop but the last couple times out I couldn't buy a hit on my cores
