Lets talk diver and bait. - 06/14/13 09:29 AM
I haven't ever put much time into fishing diver and bait but I'd like to start getting dialed in on it. So, I've got some questions for you diver and bait gurus.
1.) At what point does a Jet diver become the better choice over the Hot n tot style divers? Obviously depth can play a role in diver choice but I'd assume the small size 10' jet diver could do the same work as the regular size hot n tot diver depending on flow, line angle, and line diameter.
2.) Does the action of the diver enforce your choice on which to run? Maybe in more dirty water the erratic action of a hot n tot is the way to go versus the jet diver?
Now lets talk leaders and droppers...
1.) When would you and when would you not set your diver on a sliding dropper rig?
2.) Say I'd like to fish diver and bait for summer runs...what lb test for leader, and how long should it be? I've heard 5'-6'. Also, would a 1/0 or 2/0 be good with like a size 6 stinger hung back?
3.) Say I'm going to fish diver and bait for kings. What's the prefered leader and hook set up for that?
That's all the questions I have for now. I figured this could be a good topic to have on here. Any info would be great. I'd love to learn this.
Thanks,
Drew
