Hello, I used a knock off of No-Fish-Nick's diver loop trick last year and it seemed to work. I don't have Nick's depth of experience to use a loop tied in my main line so what I did was tie a separate loop out of a separate small length of mono line passing through one of my micro swivel eyes. I use a micro swivel between my wire (or braid) and my leader that goes to my swivel that connects to my flasher rig. I routinely inspect and/or change out the small loop through my micro swivel from time to time to avoid break offs. I've been successful so far. I agree Tangled Tackle, NFN, Russell, and others have been very helpful. Thanks
I do want to try that loop from NFN this year. I’ve been wondering about hot to incorporate that into my wire divers but I think you just answered all my problems haha. What size and brand micro swivel do you use? And what pound test do you for your small loop?
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 I've used VMC Rolling swivels and Spro Power swivels. Size 8 I think....I used swivels rated for at least 40# that I had that will reliably fit through my Okuma reels. I've used both 40 and 30 lb Big Game mono for the loop. Both seemed to work fine. I try to make the loop an inch or so long, but I have used longer, and shorter loops and they seem to work fine. I have had to help the loop through the reel going out from time-to-time but that hasn't been troublesome for me. I've used both overhand and figure 8 knots to make the loop without incident. Like your videos and Happy Holidays to you.
Can’t talk highly enough of the tangled tackle guys. I’ve had people tell me wire isn’t worth the hassle but I will put up with it because there are days that they outperform braid divers. But, same goes for braid outperforming wire sometimes
You’re very welcome, you guys deserve so much for all the hard work y’all do. I’m just happy to share my adventures and what I learn from you guys and on my own.
I got those from Luna Sea products. They are called Cush-it. I know you can get them from tangled tackle, Amazon, and right from Luna sea products online
Those are leader mates, they are from Luna Sea products. You can get them from their website or from Tangled Tackle on their website. Definitely a must have to help keep your stuff organized
Those are called Cush-its. They are made by Luna-Sea Products. You can order them from their website or also, tangled tackles website is where I got them.
Can you go little more into the slide diver setup I rigged up a braid slide diver setup with 30lb mono leader for the slide diver to slide on but when I set the diver it seems to really pinch the mono you can see where it was set or are you running the slide diver on the braid?
I haven’t really noticed an issue like that with my mono. Granted I’ll switch out my mono leader for my diver at least once sometimes twice in the season to make sure everything is fresh, especially the surgical tubing. But when I snap my diver down, I go as far up as I can so the braid is pulling at the first eye of the diver and not at the mono. But the pinching of the mono, I haven’t had an noticeable issue… yet lol
Pretty much. The insides I put at like 1.25-1.5 and the outsides at 3.25-3.5. I’ve only ever had them tangle when a fish decides to make a hard right or left. That has happened about once a season, maybe.
Those nifty things are called leader mattes. The company is Luna Sea Products, and you can google their website and order them from there. But you can also get them from Tangled Tackles website. Sometimes they will have a sale on them. I think they’re around the 25 dollar range still
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 thank you for the reply. I always pick something up from different fisherman. I switched to a 10’ dipsey rod losing fish because of more forgiving rod action. I don’t trust snubbers. They dry out and it’s one more link to go wrong in my opinion. Since I switched to a 30’ ande 30lb leader using a slide diver my hookup ratio and boat lands of fish dramatically increased. It has been enjoy reel in the fish now placing the 30’ mono with stretch at the end of the wire line and there is no need for a snubber using longer mono leader. Just sharing. Thank you for sharing your information.
@@jimdrechsel3611 Yeah I have ran into the problems numbers drying out a couple times. I try to change them every year if need be. I might have to try that 30 foot leader line since it’s working for you. A friend of mine said do 50 foot of leader line but I told him that was just way too much. But 30 foot seems much more manageable
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 it acts like a natural shock absorber. I still need to get experience letting the line out for a slide diver. With slide diver the fish can run without dragging the driver. Much better fight. Thanks again. Have to check out your videos.
@@jimdrechsel3611 yeah I would agree I do enjoy running the slide divers for the ease of setting out and netting fish. Especially having not always the most experienced fishermen with us and I’m usually the only one running the back of the boat. Well I’ll tell you now, I’ve been slacking with the video editing. I have 4 awesome salmon trips I still haven’t posted yet. Been getting crazy busy with deer season prep but mainly cause I’m leaving for an elk trip to Colorado in two weeks. Lots of gear and planning

Chris and Tangled Tackle are great! I am running the same set up as you: Wire diver - deep diver and braid diver -high diver.
Can’t talk highly enough of the tangled tackle guys. I’ve had people tell me wire isn’t worth the hassle but I will put up with it because there are days that they outperform braid divers. But, same goes for braid outperforming wire sometimes
I've only recently switched to Wire, so I don't really have enough time with it to agree or disagree, but they sure are fun to fight on wire!
@@TeamJesusOutdoors yeah wire definitely allows you to feel every head shake and tug. Makes you real learn how to work with the fish and reeling it in
Thanks for the nice comments! But you're giving me way too much credit. Keep up the great work.
You’re very welcome, you guys deserve so much for all the hard work y’all do. I’m just happy to share my adventures and what I learn from you guys and on my own.
Where did you get those Dipsy diver foam covers?
I got those from Luna Sea products. They are called Cush-it. I know you can get them from tangled tackle, Amazon, and right from Luna sea products online
Where do you get the diver holders for the rod?
Those are leader mates, they are from Luna Sea products. You can get them from their website or from Tangled Tackle on their website. Definitely a must have to help keep your stuff organized
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 do they work for Dipsy divers also or just the divers you showed in the video ?
@@paulfennell01 they work for all brands of divers. Dreamweaver, luhr jensen, tripz divers, and slide divers
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 just got two thanks for the idea!
@@paulfennell01 happy to help!
Sweet video guys!👍
Thank you!
What are the things that are holding your dipsy divers? i've never seen those before.
Those are called Cush-its. They are made by Luna-Sea Products. You can order them from their website or also, tangled tackles website is where I got them.
@@highpointeoutdoors6958 I'll be ordering some for sure! thanks!
Can you go little more into the slide diver setup I rigged up a braid slide diver setup with 30lb mono leader for the slide diver to slide on but when I set the diver it seems to really pinch the mono you can see where it was set or are you running the slide diver on the braid?

I see you’re running dual magnums… are you running a 1 setting inside and a max/“4” on the outside?
Pretty much. The insides I put at like 1.25-1.5 and the outsides at 3.25-3.5. I’ve only ever had them tangle when a fish decides to make a hard right or left. That has happened about once a season, maybe.
Where did you get those pieces that store the dipseys on the rods?
