I've been experimenting with different ways of trolling from my kayak. Since I don't have downrigger's installed I was thinking of trying a deep-sixed deep diver. Has anyone had any experience or any luck with this type of tackle or set up? Will the deep diver add enough motion to my Hoochie or herring? Thank you in advance for your replies.

here ya go I just copied this from a previous convo I just had with someone on here.........

    I have trolled the usual diver and bait combo and have been extremely successful over the years, In the ocean I will troll a diver with about a 36 inch leader attached to a mooching rig ( hoochies help ) and I use either a herring or sardine..Ive used the same set up in the river and have been equally successful with and without a flasher...Ive also used the slider weight set up with flasher and bait combo and its worked also...in the boat I find that 2-3.5 MPH is a great trolling speed... BUT as I said before in the boat I see ALOT of drag while trolling although it does trip when a fish strikes...as for the kayak I am pretty new to the sport and am trying new things myself. I hope to try what I know this weeking to see if it works the same ( I've heard in a kayak if your line is at a 45 degree angle your in the right area )....I hope this helps

I've been using this instead of a down rigger.  It works pretty well plus you save the hassle and weight of a down rigger on your yak.
