Quick take
Salmon trolling spoon designed to follow dodgers and flashers at depth with maximum flash and corrosion resistance.
The Dipsy Diver is a trolling diver for anglers who want lures running out to the side of the boat rather than directly behind it. This Black/Black Bottom model is a 4 1/4 inch body, weighs about 5 ounces, and can dive to roughly 50 feet with the right line out and trolling speed. Its base plate can be shifted to steer the diver to port or starboard, which makes it easy to spread a trolling setup across the water.
Best for
- Salmon and steelhead trolling in salt water
- Rigging behind dodger and flasher combinations
- Trolling in current and tide changes
Skip if
- You fish freshwater only
- You prefer casting over trolling
Strengths
- Metal flipper hook adds action independent of trolling speed
- Designed specifically to follow dodgers without tangling
Trade-offs
- Requires knowledge of trolling technique and boat handling
- Heavy setup with dodgers increases complexity
- Special rigging needed for proper depth and action

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
