Big John Mini Diver Modification

Post by Mr. Gill »

I don't like to use inline boards when fishing alone. Thought about how to make mini diver take lure further from boat without diving as deep. I took off the plate, removed the crescent shaped lead weight, cut it in half and put half the weight back in. Do you guys think that will work?

It might ... just watch it to make sure it doesn't spin on you. The further out to the side they are the less stable they become.

Mr Gill,
Sounds like a fun idea. Let us know how it works. We have the “MD light bite big john mini divers” (that’s a mouth full. A very crafty forum member showed us how to make those fun little disc release when there is a strike and slide down the line. I use them all the time and sometimes they are the key to a few more fish in the boat.

Ivan....I would love to know how to make them release & slide. Could you describe or refer me to instructions on how to do that? Thanks.
