Hey Timmy. Correct me if I'm wrong. Lake is only a little over 4000 acres. Pretty small lake.

I have been trying that lure some and am having trouble keeping it down. Put out 60/80 ft of line,trolling as slow as the old merc will idle and it just won't stay down for more than a few seconds. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Yep its a small windy lake. It keeps the fish close together so I can catch them.

Out of the box it has been one of the few lures I have to tune. Just drag it through the water and check which way she is running then bend the u ring the opposite. If its just a little out of tune she wont get down there. It's a tough one to tune also. I check it after each fish. Up north I heard they use a dipsy divers with them for deeper action.

Here is a kid who did a video of the dipsy diver rig.
