The Deeper Divers are designed to deliver your lure to specific depths without the use of downriggers or added weights. It features a patented No-Ring design, eliminating the need for snap-on rings that can wear out or pop off during use. Instead, it utilizes a built-in directional weight system known as Dial-a-Direction. This system allows anglers to control the diver’s path—straight behind the boat or off to either side—by rotating a dial on the bottom of the diver. The angled weight harnesses water resistance to steer the diver outward or downward, providing flexibility in your trolling spread and increasing coverage in the water column.
A key feature of the Deeper Diver is its trip mechanism, which activates when a fish strikes. This releases the tension on the diver, so you fight only the fish, not the drag of the diver, making for a more natural and effective retrieval. Anglers typically troll with the Deeper Diver at speeds between 2.0 and 2.5 mph which allows the diver to track consistently and maintain depth. It’s especially popular for targeting salmon, trout, and walleye, and offers reliable, adjustable depth control with minimal setup and maximum performance.
