Dipsy Rods or Combos

[Avid Angler]

Hey guys. I'm looking to buy a couple dipsy diver rods. 9-10' long. Nothing to heavy cause I'll be mainly using them on the fingerlakes but occasionally ontario. Or combos if available. What's everyone's opinion on using braid vs wire with dipsy? Thanks for all the help. Codie

Love the wire I think personally it dives more then braid... With less line out

Hard to beat stranded steel wire for dipseys either 7 strand SS or the 19 strand Torpedo wire but your rod tip will have to have either a twilli tip or roller tip  so the wire doesn't chaff or cut through and if a roller is used get one that is all Stainless steel not the ones with aluminum sides as they can be cut through on the sides by the wire. The wirec uts through the water nicely as John said and no "give" or stretch although braid doesn't have much either but mono does so it's not great with divers.  Just remember to always keep tension on the wire to avoid kinks. The wire at least for me seems to be easier to take fleas off too.
