Product Details

Off Shore Tackle Tadpole Diving Weights offer the trolling angler a simple and easy alternative to using traditional downriggers and divers to get lures down to mid-level depths. The design of the Tadpole Resettable Diving Weight features a flat-faced trolling weight with two coast lock snaps. When you set your lure out, the face of the Tadpole points downward, and the coast lock stays at the top of the arm in the clipped position. When a fish strikes, the coast lock slides down the arm into the tripped position, so you easily fight the fish and not the resistance of the diving weight itself. These diving weights are 99% lead-free and feature a durable black powder-coated finish.


The in-line Tadpole Diving Weight is highly affected by speed. Slight fluctuations in speed can dramatically impact the running depth. Going slower will cause Off Shore Tackle Tadpole Diving Weights to run deep, whereas going faster will cause them to rise and run shallower. This also applies to turns: the inside rods will run a little deeper, and the outside rods will run a little shallower.

  • Tadpole Resettable Diving Weights are 99.99% lead-free
  • Powder-coated for long-lasting durability
  • Quantity per pack: Each package contains one Tadpole Diving Weight and two coast lock snaps

    My son and I tried all 4 tadpole sizes out this past Friday on Calaveras Lake in San Antonio. The biggest thing you have to do is know how to calculate all the variables such as the test line you are using in mono or braid (15 lbs Moss Green PowerPro Braided Spectra Fiber), length of leader tied to the tadpole and how far back behind the boat you are running the tadpole and lure. You will need to know all of this in order to accurately know what speed is required to effectively hold the lure at a certain depth. My son used his iPhone while we were on the water and went to offshore tackle website then clicked on Dive Charts. I also went to Precision Trolling to get a full understanding of identifying the key variables. Here we were able to accurately chart the number of feet we need to have the lure deployed behind the boat and the speed we need to be going to achieve the depth we needed to be at in order to present the lures in the fish strike zones we were seeing on my Lowrance Elite-5 HDI Fishfinder/Chartplotter Combo. He also used GPS on the fishfinder/chartplotter to know our true trolling speed.
