Lake Michigan Bows and Kings alive in Sheboygan

[bkidder]

These sound pretty interesting to me, since I have fooled around with dipsy's in the past. The reason I quit using them was that the added pull they cause when fighting a fish makes it less fun. It also seems to cost me fish when I go after soft mouthed kokanee salmon. Adding a snubber helps, but the dipsy's are too much trouble to even bother with for me.

So these divers release when a fish strikes? Then they slide down to the bead... do they add pull from there? Or are they out of line and therefore not "diving" anymore? Where do you get the divers?

Thanks for your report, and any tips you can give me on these divers!
