Luhr Jensen 50ft Jet Diver Black (5540-050-0084) | River Back-Trolling Diver

Overview

The Luhr Jensen 50ft Jet Diver Black is a purpose built back-trolling tool designed to place lures and baits close to the river bottom where salmon and other sport fish often cruise. Its buoyant body uses water pressure against its wings to dive, then gracefully rises when pressure eases, helping you maintain a steady, controlled presentation without drifting away from the fishy zone.

Why this diver shines on river runs

River back-trolling requires finesse and reliability. The Jet Diver works with the current, quietly drifting and diving as needed while you keep a tight leash on lure action. If it encounters structure, the design encourages the diver to float free, reducing hang-ups and keeping your gear in play for longer retrieves.

Key benefits and real-life use cases

• Five sizes cover depths from under 10 feet to around 50 feet, giving you flexible depth control for different river sections.
• Premium plating and polishing deliver a bright, attention-grabbing look while improving corrosion resistance in tough water.
• Rigged with a heavy-duty split ring and a metal Flipper hook for secure lure attachment and easy swapping.
• The Coyote spoon works well behind Dodgers and flashers, adding extra flash and motion to your presentation.
• Designed specifically for river back-trolling, the 50ft model helps keep lures close to the bottom where fish often feed.

• In-field action: the diver dives with water pressure and then rises when pressure relaxes, helping keep your lure near the target depth.
• Snag avoidance: built to bump over bottom structure and float free if you snag, preserving gear and continuity of your retrieve.
