If I told you, I'd have to kill you
] Just kidding
] I use a Dipsy Diver. I call them the poor mans downrigger. I'm still trying to figure out exact depths, as Luhr-Jensen tests them with 20lb mono at 2.5 MPH. I use 30lb spider wire, which has as diameter of 6lb mono, and I troll a little slower, but I'm really starting to get the hang of using one. You can effectively troll to 70 foot depths using one. I've consistently out-fished others who are not using a diver. I'm a true believer. My rig is set up with the diver, 4' of leader, a flasher, and 18" of leader tied on to the lure. I've also caught Kokes up there using triple teasers as well. If you want any more info on the diver, let me know. I'd be happy to meet you up there and show you how they work as well. Good luck next time you head out.
