Snubbers

I switched to fire line last year for my dipsy lines and it has made a big difference. Not dragging small fish like I used to. As far as snubbers are concerned, I have only used them in Lake Ontario fishing for kings. I don't use them when I'm trolling on Lake Erie for Walleye.

Thank you for the input guys. I was having problems hooking fish and was told to use snubbers.(you know a couple of shakes and it was gone before I could get the pole) It did work but couldnt get a good hook set. I think I will go with super line. From what I have read it is easier to pop the dypsies loose with it.

I've lost more fish trying to release the dipsy hard than just lifting with a good strong pull. Seems like everytime I try a hard set I end up with bare hook. Only lost 2 the last 4 days Thurs - Sun.  I really don't set my dipseys that tight - just enough to hold em depending on the waves. Once in awhile 1 will release on a turn but most times no problem. I use braid to the dipsy and floro from the dipsy to the lure. Standard procedure. Experimenting with the tension takes a little time but worth it. I've found the walkers are easier to adjust than the Luhr-Jensens (not enough selection though), My 2 cents, hope it helps.    Dave
