snubbers

[downtime]

ok getting ready to leave and relized i dont have any snubbers for dipsey rods a friend borrowed the rods and never brought them back but any ways do i need snubbers for the leadcore rods as well or just a good drag system work on those

[downtime]

and by the way this is the best place i have found to gain knowledge on great lakes fishing ty to everyone

[its an addiction]

No snubbers for leadcore.

Is your diver rod mono or braid or wire? Some people choose not to use snubbers even with braid or wire. I wouldn't stress on it. Go fish!

[downtime]

braided on all my dipseys and ty for the advise

Just make sure you have your drags set just tight enough so line doesn't creep out and you should be alright. The only time I use snubbers is with mags since I have to tighten the drag down more to get them to hold.

snubbers are more of a personal preference. I usually use them on divers but have occasionally run without. No real difference that i have noticed.

If you go without snubbers, than at least put 40# as your diver leader.

Ive never used snubbers for ne thing except attaching a set of cowbells to the downrigger balls in the 70s shhhhhhh...... if you set your drags right theres no need for them........

We don't use them.

I run them on mag low wires, I dont run them on high,low slides, high divers or high wires. Even when i have sunbbers on i still have the drag as loose as i can stand without creeping out.

I run snubbers on all of my divers. When using wire they give you a little more shock absorbency in addition to the rod so that you don't break anything.

[spoonfed]

we dont run them, never had any problems with the wires

I run them, get the clear ones if you do, but you can probably get away without them.
