Diver Rod recommendations

[relaxer]

Have old Okuma Classic 9' with twilli tips and looking for options.  These are a little stiff and wondering what other options others use.  Anyone run a shorter wire rod they like as inside divers?  Not looking for rollers as I rather find a blank that fits the bill and just add a wire tip.

 

Thanks in advance

We run 8' Shimano Talora rods on our inside wire Dipsys. This spring, I added a 50' shot of mono and rigged them as slide divers for the early season. Thus far they've performed flawlessly and they've been the go-to setup.

Are you running the 8' dipsy model or are you running a downrigger model for the wire diver?  Do you know which model you're using TLA 802MH2 or the downrigger TLAF 80MH2

I would get daiwa wilderness trolling rods from fishusa.com. get them in med/light weight. they do seem a little light. but they are awesome rods.  a lot of people don't think med/light are to light for trolling. but I can tell more about when something is on with them instead of a broom stick..
