I'm with Phil on this one, but I dont bait and dive for native steelies, mortality is to high, cuz they will inhale my eggs, this is a very effective way to fish though. I only use #10 jet divers for salmon, and brad divers for hatchery steelies, like Phil says keep the distance the same as much as possible, and you'll get paid!!!!!!!!!!!

i used diver and bait targeting springers from the end of april until now

0 native steelhead out of 9 deep throated it. over a dozen springers did and 1 hatchery summer run did.

depending on the river, but jet divers can be very bad for backing down a run with a lot of big rocks(they hang up easy). i only ever use 20s or brads, 95% of the time i use a jet diver i am on anchor unless its a big deep slow salmon hole that i know is snag free.

i have my rods rigged where i can swap out leaders and/or divers in a matter of seconds... so i can switch which divers are needed from spot to spot
