Overview
Built for anglers who want a deep-running diver with a controlled release, this model is designed to trip out on a strike so there’s no diver drag. Its adjustable setup lets you fine-tune the presentation based on the lure used, while the internal rattler adds an extra sound element to the rig. The buoyant design supports lures up to 1 oz., and the stainless hardware, UV protection, and lead-free construction make it a practical choice for serious trolling setups.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The trip-out mechanism is designed to release at a strike, so it may not keep the same diving behavior once a fish is on.
- Its buoyancy is stated as up to 1 oz. lures, and the weight is adjustable depending on lure used, so setup depends on matching it to your rig.
- The product is built around a deep-diving profile, which is useful for depth but may be less suitable when a shallower presentation is needed.
- Features such as the internal rattler and stainless hardware add function, but they also make this a more specialized diver rather than a simple, minimal trolling setup.
