Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver 5560-000-0086 — Freshwater Trolling Lure, 3.25 in, 35 ft Depth

Overview

The Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver is a directional trolling lure designed to widen your water coverage from a single boat. Its distinctive round body and multi directional tracking enable it to steer toward port or starboard, helping you spread multiple lures without crowding your setup.

How it helps on the water

Using a Dipsy Diver gives you a versatile option for creating an extended fishing pattern. A gentle shift left or right, indicated on the base plate, causes the diver to move in that direction. This creates a broad arc and can draw in active fish that respond to movement and depth changes.

• Creates large lure spreads from one trolling line
• Adjusts balance to suit lure size and target depth
• Dives up to 35 feet for this model
• Available in color variants suited to water clarity

Setup and tuning

Setup is straightforward for most trolling rigs. The adjustable trip mechanism lets you tailor the lure to different sizes and target species. Start with a conservative setting and then fine tune for lure size and the desired depth.

• Attach to standard trolling gear and leaders as usual
• Use the directional indicators to steer toward port or starboard
• Test calmly and adjust depth and spread to optimize coverage

Real-world use cases

Picture a calm morning on the water, with Dipsy Divers tracing graceful curves through the wake. The lures bend in unison, offering varied depths and motions that may appeal to a range of freshwater species, from bass to walleye to pike.
