JET DIVER TECH SHEET
COMPLETE, DEPTH-SPECIFIC TROLLING SYSTEM
Meet Luhr Jensen's buoyant Jet Diver
System. No lead, no downriggers, no hassle. It's a simple-to-use
trolling system that accurately positions a lure at 10, 20, 30
or 40 feet with the added attractions of motion and color. Simply
tie on the correct Jet Diver that matches the depth you
wish to reach, attach your favorite lure 3 to 4 feet back, let
out 100 feet of line and begin trolling . . . the Jet Diver
does the rest! |
|
This straightforward, no-nonsense trolling system
is the result of angler demand for specific depth capability without
all of the complexities of downriggers, lead weights or wire line.
It produces the right depth, each time, every time . . . no gimmicks,
no complicated instructions, and no mistakes. PRODUCT:• Luhr Jensen's Jet Diver Buoyant Diving Planer . . floats at rest.
ADVANTAGES:
- Four depth-specific models provide a complete trolling system to
40 feet-plus. Using electronics or fishing knowledge to determine
the fish-holding levels, attach the correct Jet Diver and quickly
be at that exact depth.
- Quick-change snaps allow instant change of diver size and/or lure-and-leader.
- Dives only when motion is applied by trolling or by natural river
current. (The only diver that can be used in river current!)
- Injection molded plastic is tough and virtually indestructible.
No Lead! Environmentally safe!
- Line attachment hole choices allow fine-tuning for different dive
angles.
- The combination of color and action acts as a fish attractor. It's
particularly active when trolled between 2.3 and 2.5 mph which gives
side-to-side bonus action.
VERSATILITY - ALL DEPTHS
The complete, four-size Jet Diver system allows you to reach specific
depths from 10 to 40 feet, depending on the size Jet you choose. "Jet
10", for example, will reach 10 feet and can pull small lures and spoons
such as Super Dupers®, Needlefish®, Kwikfish® or small spinner
and bait combos. Each succeedingly larger Jet size will position your
line 10 feet deeper, with the "Jet 20" reaching 20 feet, "Jet 30" - 30
feet and "Jet 40" - 40 feet. As the size increases, so does the Jet's
ability to carry larger items. The "Jet 40", for example, will pull a
large plug such as a #4 J-Plug®, 5 1/2" Jensen Minnow, Hot Lips Express®,
Power Dive® Minnow, size #14 Kwikfish® or even a small dodger-and-fly
or dodger-and-spoon combo.
SPECIAL NOTE: Diving capability and depth attained will be
affected by length of line out, trolling or water speed and line diameter.
The smallest Jet, (the "Jet 10") can effectively reach a 10-foot depth
with lines testing from 12 to 15 pounds. A deeper dive would be possible
with A) lighter, thinner line, B) slower trolling speed or C) by releasing
more line. The "Jet 20", "Jet 30" and "Jet 40" are geared to be used
with lines testing 17 to 25 pounds. Again, maximum dive can be attained
with smaller diameter line, slower trolling speed or by releasing more
line.
In research tests, for example, on 17-pound test main line a "Jet 20"
with 100 feet of line out trolled at 2 mph reached 22 feet carrying
a No. 4 Diamond King, high-action trolling spoon. This same outfit trolled
at the same speed with 150 feet of line out reached 27 feet. Beyond
150 feet of line out, tests show buoyancy of the Jet Diver and upward
force of the line combine to limit further diving capability.
Adjustment holes engineered in both the forward fin of the Jet Diver
and the underneath fin allow fine-tuning of depth control. On the front
fin, attaching your main line to the top hole will result in maximum
depth, while the bottom hole forces a bit shallower dive. On the lower
fin, where your leader and lure are attached, the hole nearest the front
produces the deepest dives on slow troll (1.5 to 2.5 mph) while the
hole behind is best for faster trolling speeds (in the 2.5 to 3 mph
range).
IT FLOATS!
One big advantage of Luhr Jensen's buoyant Jet Diver is that you can
see how far out behind your boat it is, before the actual dive begins.
In river situations, buoyancy becomes a huge advantage because the diver
will not sink to the bottom and get hung up . . . a little slack line
will immediately push it downriver and off of most any obstruction.
If you do happen to break it off while trolling, the diver will pop
to the surface, allowing for easy retrieval.
Use a Jet Diver instead a lure such as the Hellbender as the diver/planer.
The Jet Diver won't foul when it hits underwater obstructions whereas
the Hellbender gets bent in the bill area. It doesn't cross up in turns
and pulls two-thirds less than a Hellbender when trolled at optimum
speeds.
SPECIAL QUICK-CHANGE FEATURE
Your Jet Diver comes equipped with two quick-change snaps; one on the
forward fin for main line attachment, and one underneath for leader-and-lure
attachment. By attaching your main line to the front fin snap, you can
then change Jets in seconds by simply unsnapping one and snapping on
another.
The second quick-change feature involves the underneath snap to which
your leader-and-lure is attached. By pre-rigging several leader-and-lure
combinations with snaps already attached, you can instantly change from
one to another by simply opening and closing a snap. You can conveniently
protect and store these pre-rigged combinations in one of Luhr Jensen's
handy Magnum Leader/Lure Wallets.
SHARP HOOKS PAY OFF! One of the easiest things you
can do to improve your fishing success, is to maintain super-sharp hooks
on your lures at all times. A fine-toothed file such as Luhr
Jensen's Sharp Hook File is the absolute best hook sharpening
tool available. Hold the file parallel to the hook point and with gentle,
one-way strokes, remove a small amount of metal on at least two sides
of the point to obtain a sticky-sharp point with a knife-like cutting
edge. These top-quality, high-carbon steel, ultra-fine tooth files are
available in two sizes (4 1/4" x 5/8" and 5 1/2" x 3/4") and four models
(tang-end, thumb handle, unbreakable plastic handle and with a lanyard
and snap ). Keep the file clean and dry and occasionally spray it with
a non-corrosive lubricant such as WD-40 to prevent rust.
