About The Dipsy Diver

The Dipsy Diver is a multi-directional trolling sinker invented and initially patented by Russell William Weber, an avid fisherman 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.
