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 in-line Tadpole 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.
Off Shore Tackle Tadpole Diving Weights are highly effected by speed. Slight fluctuations in speed can dramatically impact the running depth. Going slower will cause these 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.
Each package contains one Tadpole Diving Weight and two coast lock snaps.

Tadpoles
I haven't received the product yet. They are stuck with the USPS in New Jersey.

Part of a winning combination for Lake Superior Salmon
I used the magnum tad pole with a churchs magnum planer board, flasher and jointed Rapala. It worked very well for Coho Salmon on Lake Superior.
-
easy to use
Use in deep water to get lure down. Easy to use. Excellent for deep fish like lake trout. Does not tangle. Much easier than using dipsy diver or others.
