Chinook

These high performance trolling divers allow you to effectively cover a broad area, both side to side of the boat and at multiple depths, all at the same time. You can run multiple lines off the back of your boat.
The Chinook Diver utilizes an improved shape and sleek, ultra thin, high quality stainless steel. It features easy adjustability for a multi-directional diver that sets it apart from all other divers and planers. A shift of the weight to the left or right, will cause the diver to track to port or starboard, allowing for large spreads of lures to be fished from a single boat.
The Chinook Diver was designed for performance in the Great Lakes and are proven performers for Bass, Perch, Walleye, Trout and Salmon. They are strong and durable enough for both freshwater and saltwater trolling. The high performance Chinook Diver easily go to where the fish are.

– Chinook Divers are designed to work best with thin wire line and the super braided lines. A counter reel is very helpful in calculating depth. We use a 2 to 1 foot ratio calculation for line out-vs-depth. 100 feet of line out will get you 50 feet down. Faster/slower trolling speeds and shallow/deeper will change this calculation slightly. In shallow water, a larger diver will run closer to the back of the boat. In deep water, a smaller diver will run further back behind the boat.

– Generally, we don’t use a snubber. Depending on fishing conditions and trolling speeds, you can see a few accidental releases at accelerated trolling speeds or in rough water. We use 8 ½ ft or 9 ft, fast action poles with the divers. These give us a “snubber” type action to control accidental releases without adding more friction underwater.

Chinook Divers recommended depths

– #5 is used for 50-100+ feet deep and excellent for deep Salmon/big fish.
– #4 and #3 are both lethal in the 25-80 foot ranges, both very capable tools
– #2 works best in the 15-50 foot depth range and are great size for Walleye!
– #1 is also great for shallow trolling and to troll behind a bigger unit at similar depths.

 

 

Usage

By default, all paramètres are the standard values: the plate weight on 1, braided line and 2.5 mph. You only have to choose the depth to get the length of line.

If you have set the lead weight to move the diver on the side, you can set the position with the two arrows. You can also adjust the speed of the boat.
