Description
Chinook Divers are designed to work best with thin wire line and the super braided lines. A counter reel is very helpful in calculating depth. We use a 2 to 1 foot ratio calculation for line out-vs-depth. 100 feet of line out will get you 50 feet down. Faster/slower trolling speeds and shallow/deeper will change this calculation slightly. In shallow water, a larger diver will run closer to the back of the boat. In deep water, a smaller diver will run further back behind the boat.
Generally, we don�t use a snubber. Depending on fishing conditions and trolling speeds, you can see a few accidental releases at accelerated trolling speeds or in rough water. We use 8 1/2 ft or 9 ft, fast action tip poles with the divers. These give us the �snubber� type action to control accidental releases without adding more friction underwater.
Chinook Divers recommended depths
- #5 is used for 50-100+ feet deep and excellent for deep Salmon/big fish.
- #4 and #3 are both lethal in the 25-80 foot ranges, both very capable tools
- #2 works best in the 15-50 foot depth range and are great size for Walleye!
- #1 is also great for shallow trolling and to troll behind a bigger unit at similar depths.
