What are the top deep divers you use when the fish are toward the bottom?
Tattoo makes a nice deep diver. Yozuri hydro magnum is ok also, but I wouldn't use their weight system. It seems like too much hardware. You have to think of where the fish really are. When you want to target fish that are sitting on the bottom, you may want to consider other options such as jigs, bucktails or rubber baits.
if you are trolling the chioce I'd make is Tom Mann's super stretch 25!
I fish the same plug but the 1-minus.very effective plug!
R-P
I agree, the 1- is a great late season plug when the fish are not hitting topwater.
I like the Tatoo's as well. They are a bit heavier than the Gibbs or Lex divers.:)
How about loading a bomber to make it dive deeper. I did it once with bunker oil, but I kind of messed up and it leaked out.
Willie if you don't like bunker oil try a switch to BBs. Have done that and liked it better. The rattles inside can also help with a strike if you jerk and twitch it,
Another vote for tattoos. Good diving plug and solid to withstand some heavy strikes.Quote:

Also conrads and cowboys often swim well right out of the box. Good deep diving plugs.
bucktail or jig head with 5" rip tide or a 6" finesse paddle tail
