eMy best dipsey color on erie has been metallic red. Same with all my jets. I also have some purple prism dipseys that have been good and you cant go wrong with black. Honestly i think its a confidence thing. Not sure dipsey color really matters that much. The bait behind the dipsey matters more in my HO. How far out your diver is,dialed on 1,2 or 3 thats what matters. Also ring or no ring. We typically run no ring 90% of time. Have no problem getting down to whatever depth with 30lb power pro or 30lb 7 strand wire. As we move into mid summer dipseys can really shine!! What i call boat tricks can get them really goin. Hard turns left or right, slow downs&speed ups can really trigger strikes.
