Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The diver is designed to trip out at a fish strike, so it will not maintain diver drag once engaged; that is a functional trade-off to note when planning how it fishes.
  • Dive depth is described as adjustable and dependent on the lure used, so performance is not fixed and will vary with setup.
  • It is buoyant up to 1 oz. lures, which means lure selection needs to stay within that range for the stated behavior.
  • The internal rattler and trip-out mechanism add action and function, but they also make this a more specialized setup than a simple fixed diver.
