Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver 3/0 – 2-1/4 Inch Clear/Clear Bottom | South Bend Sporting Goods

Overview

Meet the Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver 3/0 in clear/clear bottom, a classic directional trolling lure designed to expand your spread and improve water coverage. With its distinctive round profile, the diver behaves in multiple directions, helping your lines reach farther without adding extra gear. In practice, anglers report that a well-timed shift of the lure can create an inviting trail that draws attention across a wider fishing zone.

Its original directional design isn’t just a novelty—it's a practical feature that helps you manage lure presentation from a single boat. When a shift to port or starboard occurs as indicated on the base plate, the diver tracks accordingly, giving you more options to present a variety of lures in a single pass. The result can feel like you’ve extended your trolling area while keeping the same rig setup handy.

Key benefits you can expect

• Original directional design that supports controlled lure spreads.
• Adjustable positive trip mechanism to tailor depth and presentation.
• Larger sizes feature heavy-duty welded ring construction for durability.
• Optional O rings to reach deeper depths and widen the search area.
• When deployed, you’ll cover more water and increase the chances of finding active fish.

Depth options and practical use

• Four available sizes with dive depths of 20, 35, 50, and 100 feet.
• The adjustable trip mechanism adapts to different lure sizes and target species.
• Pair with fleet spoons or spinners to extend your trolling spread across the water column.

In real-world settings, the Dipsy Diver is a flexible companion for trolling along reef edges, lakes, and river mouths where wide coverage matters. The clear body and bottom help it remain visible under varied lighting, while the compact form supports easy integration with common trolling setups.

Construction details emphasize reliability. Heavier welded rings accompany the larger models, and you can add optional O rings to push the line deeper if your fishing conditions require it. This combination of design, materials, and adjustable features allows for customization to suit different lures and water conditions without altering your core gear.

Whether you’re new to trolling or an experienced angler, the Dipsy Diver offers flexible control over your spread. It invites experimentation with lure choices and depth targets, presenting possibilities rather than guarantees and encouraging you to tune the rig to fit your local waters and personal preferences.
