Buds Divers

[bubby1kanobie]

Just ordered a couple buds divers. Just wondering if anyone has used them or know much about them. I have watched a few vids of several people using them and they look like they would work good pulling crank baits or spoons for walleye. What's everyone's thoughts?

From what I understand there is no way to release them to check or change a bait. They only release when a fish hits. Some guys that have run them over here on Lake Michigan didn't care for them because they wander around your spread while trying to retrieve it. You may be better off with slide divers.

Thanks Tyee.... I will look into this option.

The Lurk Rundown TripZ divers work good for walleye and steelhead. I think Lurk bought the product rights from Walker Downriggers. You can buy them online. Many of them are on sale right now. There are some good videos on You Tube. http://store.trollingdivers.com/

I have never heard of Bud's divers. Sorry can't comment.
