What are the divers depth with a sandshrimp and small spin-n-glow, how much line should I let out ? What depth of water should I use the large one in ?
I am by no means an expert on fishing with bait divers, so take this for what it is worth. I'd fish the regular Hot-n-Tot in your classic steelhead holding riffles. Maybe up to 8-10' deep. Anything deeper than that, I'd run the Mags. Actually, getting past 15 feet, I'd run a 20' diving jet diver.

Black is a very visible and contrasting color underwater. Ideally, it's not the color you'd want to use. If you want to read up on colors, I'd recommend "What Fish See". But, a black diver doesn't hurt anything, reglardless of what people say. I don't think fish hit the divers that often.

Gear down as the water gets clearer and lower. There are times when we're running 8lb leaders and a #1 hook with a small shrimp tail and small spin-n-glow for springers. Fish accordingly.
