Colored dipseys

[backoneerie2016]

Any certain colors that seem to produce better than others ? Going to buy a couple and would like to see what some of you guys use. Going to fish out of buffalo this weekend.

For us, it really depends on the day, but some good ones to always have on hand are watermelon, copper, silver, and black/purple.

Black and Kelly Green have always treated me well........

All Black for me

While we are on the subject do you run snubbers on your dipseys what Ib test and how long of a lead ? Thanks Paul

[ShenangoEyes]

All Black for me. I use snubbers, can't remember the brand name, but they are about a foot long and are made of a silicon tubing .

Snubbers when fishing Ontario....... none when fishing Erie.....

Black or clear Dreamweaver snubbers always because we are running power pro or 7 strand wire.

No snubbers. Just use a mono leader and keep drag just tight enough to so its not creeping out while trolling.

I use an 8ft flouro leader of 20lb test with dipseys

[Jay jay]

All black , also use a 8 to 10 foot lead for "give"

[jimski2]

With Lake Ontario salmon 30 pound test leaders are necessary.

Lake erie walleye use a blue dipsy with the black dots Uv inhanced. It's honestly the first and alot of days the only one that keeps firing. That along with a black and silver spoon and your set. No snubbers for me, drag just loose enough it's not slipping while trolling

eMy best dipsey color on erie has been metallic red. Same with all my jets. I also have some purple prism dipseys that have been good and you cant go wrong with black. Honestly i think its a confidence thing. Not sure dipsey color really matters that much. The bait behind the dipsey matters more in my HO. How far out your diver is,dialed on 1,2 or 3 thats what matters. Also ring or no ring. We typically run no ring 90% of time. Have no problem getting down to whatever depth with 30lb power pro or 30lb 7 strand wire. As we move into mid summer dipseys can really shine!! What i call boat tricks can get them really goin. Hard turns left or right, slow downs&speed ups can really trigger strikes.

What size dispys do you guys run? Anyone ever see any catch ratio difference between braid vs wire? We've caught fish on dipsys but leadcore seems to produce MUCH better for us.

Pink Chrome with white oring.

Works on Erie and Ontario.

I also once bought a Nuclear Green Walker deeper diver that works great on both lakes but have never been able to find another one with the same paint scheme. I'm almost afraid to use it on Ontario in fear that it might get broken off by a king.

You don't need snubbers when fishing for walleye as they are such wimpy fighters.

I normally don't use snubbers on Ontario either. Just a lower bound test leader as I usually fish my dipseys on a wire rig with a twilly tip for both Erie and Ontario.

Black or dark purple, I do not use snubbers for me to hard to tell if a small fish is on. I fish the western end of the central basin, Huron to Lorain lot of white bass and white perch.
