Getting the Lead Out
It looks like the future of Dipsy Diver might be at risk if the Environmental Protection Agency deems it necessary to ban all lead based hunting and fishing which is being pushed by the American Bird Conservancy. D'Arcy Egan wrote about it in his recent article. Read about the controversy here:

Racine King Salmon Fishing
This video nicely shows the Dipsy Diver on the line while they are hauling in the salmon. Salmon have sharp needle-like teeth and thrash strongly so they must be subdued once they are netted. This video shows that process too but I wouldn't recommend you do it the way it's done in this video. Ouch! LOL!

Dipsy Diver in Danish
Det var rigtigt koldt og der var grødis på søen flere steder, så det var lidt svært at fiske, men efter 1 times fiskeri fik jeg hug, den tog 3 udløb og min far kunne tage fisken i nettet.

Fishing Tips and Tricks
Check out this excellent article featuring Capt. John King's Diver Tips with some interesting information about the Dipsy Diver:

Introducing the Dipsy Diver
The Dipsy Diver is a multi-directional trolling sinker invented and initially patented by Russell William Weber, an avid angler from Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Weber invented the Dipsy Diver in the mid 1970's as a result of his frustration with lines getting tangled under his boat and lures not sinking low enough to catch fish effectively.
Weber played with several designs, finally coming up with the well known round shape, the attached trip mechanism and the unique adjustable base weight.
The first Dipsy Divers were manufactured in Weber's basement with the help of his children and friends. Weber sold his invention at shows around the Milwaukee and Chicago areas and through word of mouth, attracting the attention of a few large manufacturers. In the late 1970's Weber sold his invention to Luhr Jensen and Sons located in Hood River Oregon, who currently own and manufacture the Dipsy Diver.
