SKU: JET DIVER-LUHR JENSEN

Overview

Built for river back-trolling, this diver is designed to help anglers present lures and baits deeper in the water column where fish often hold near the bottom. Its winged design uses water pressure to drive it down, with a depth range that reaches up to 50 feet depending on size and conditions. It sinks while moving and floats at rest, which keeps it straightforward to work during a drift or trolling pass. With several sizes available, it offers flexibility for matching different river setups without adding unnecessary complexity.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for river back-trolling, so it may be less relevant for anglers fishing other presentations or water types.
  • Depth performance is tied to size selection, so choosing the right size matters for matching your target depth.
  • Its sinking-and-floating behavior is useful in use, but it also means the diver is intended for active movement rather than static presentation.
  • The listed depth range spans less than 10 to 50 feet, so actual running depth will vary by size and conditions.
