Dipsy Diver Depth Chart – How Deep Does It Really Go?

Dipsy Divers are powerful tools for reaching deeper water without downriggers—but depth depends heavily on your setup.

How it works

• Uses adjustable angle settings (0–3)
• Pulls the lure down and away from the boat

Setting 0 (straight back)

• 30 m line → ~6–8 m deep
• 60 m line → ~10–14 m deep

Setting 2–3 (side)

• Runs 20–30% shallower than setting 0
• Creates a wider, better spread

Key factors

• Line length – more line = deeper
• Speed – faster = higher in the water
• Line type – braid runs deeper than mono

Pro tips

• Use setting 0 for maximum depth
• Use setting 2–3 to spread rods wider
• Combine with flashers when targeting salmon
