Rockin' Randy Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm looking at replacing two mismatched dipsy rods. Right now I have one 10' and one 8' Browning probably 20 years old. Is the rule of thumb for dipsys the same as downrigger rods - you can go cheap on rods and spend more on reels? Or is there merit to spending more on a dipsy rod? I've been out of this type of fishing for a bit. Got back into it last year. This year I went to braid, not sure the Browning Silflax even has the proper guides. Was looking at Okuma classic glt dipsy rods in either 10' or 10-1/2' because of price ($38). Not sure if Ugly Stik makes one or how their action is for this application.

Quebecfisherman Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Daiwa wilderness they were the cheapest but I gave them a try this year and they work awesome for the price Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBD Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The ugly stik diver rods are absolute pool sticks. Not much action at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishUSA had a sale last year-buy 2 at 20$ each, get one more free. Great deal. They have been great rods for cheap.
