Slide Divers are a "must-have" for anyone fishing the Great Lakes. With the clearing waters, fish have become more weary of divers, cannonballs or anything else that doesn't look natural. The Slide Diver allows you to set your leads far behind the diver and away from the boat. This is great at all depths, but especially when you're working close to the top of the water column because the lure is away from the boat. They can be tricky to set, especially in rough waves when you already have a lot of baits set out, but with practice and a little patience, you'll get the hang of it. It's sort of like setting a board out when you already have a few out on each side. Just set it out the back and slowly allow it to dig into the water and find its place in your spread. Just go slow and you'll be fine.

The SlideDiver functioned ok. If you feel a longer lead from diver to lure, harness, etc is necessary this works as it should. Too many little pieces (surgical tubing, plastic tubing, little spring) make set up a little awkward though. It seemed it was hard to find a sweet spot for the release. When trolling it functioned properly. I wasn't comfortable with the slide diver depth chart. It appeared to follow the DD chart . IMO it doesn't warrant the hefty price. As far recommending the product I give it a "yes" only to try it to see if you like it. I won't load up my tackle box with them.

They work as described. I use the litebites to troll for walleyes. Gives you the ability to let out as much of a leader length as you would like, while still having the ability to net fish when it slides down. They get down very quickly.
