braided line for dipsys


Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me any information on using braid over 7 strand on dipsy rods? Such as what lb braid to use, how deep will it troll, or any heipful information.

Use at least 30# braid and even 50#. The heavier lines are better at repelling the sea fleas. As far as how deep there are a lot of variables. Speed, Diver setting, size of diver, and currents. You can go by the diver charts but it's still and educated guess. I used to have a LJ dipsy chart. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Bob, A warm welcome to the GLF site. There are a lot of people here willing to help.

I have run fire line for years and last year i had to replace those reels and was talked into using braid(power pro) and found i did not like it,I had several break offs, I dont remember what pound it was but anytime it touched anything else it seemed to part ways.I have never had fire line break even when tangled with wire. Just my experience with braid.
