Slide Diver Depth Chart on Braided Line

[BowTech fever]

Does anyone have a Slide Diver Depth Chart for braided line? We are running 30lb braided line and the Slide Diver with a magnum weight and a big ring. We don't have any information on them on a 2 setting 3 setting etc? Any help is appreciated. Thank you .

Good question. I talked to the Slide diver owner and his only depth chart for the performance ring on the magnum weight is a 2 to 1 ratio on the “2” setting. I found that to be accurate on 50lb braid at 2.5mph.

So, while confirming the 2 to 1 ratio, I set a slide diver to the “4” setting. I had to let out 100’ to get to 40’ (hit bottom) at 2.5mph.

So that “4” setting is a 2.5 to 1 ratio.

I routinely run the inside low slide divers on a “2” setting at 80’ down, so I let out 160’ of line.

I routinely run my outside high slide divers on a “4” setting at 70’ down, so I let out 170’ of line.

I think the rule of thought is 3/1.  Regular.  And 2.5.  Or 2/1 with added weight and ring.   Your speed and lake o currents gonna put that to the test.  Best thing is to keep adjusting your setup to it fires or hits bottom.

You gotta be willing to donate tackle yo you find what works.   Slide divers are useless when fleas show up

I have zero issues running them with fleas.
