John.... When it comes to Diver hunting, the J pattern is a basic start... We are constantly adjusting the spread until we have the birds bury into the pocket. You will handcuff yourself with a net rig. I run a major long line from downwind and I have a few blocks as stoppers at the tip of the hook... The key is, are the birds gonna flare at the stoppers, or are they gonna try to land with em. Everyday is different. Being able to improvise and adapt put more birds on our straps...Good luck. If we don't get some colder weather, then we are going to have a long late season...

x10 on everything that was just said. Sometimes a simple tweek makes a huge difference. And yeah if we don't get some weather ASAP... I don't think there will be enough birds around that the spread shape will make much of a difference
