- In this video Captain Marc uses the SmartTroll II Speed, Depth and Temp system to find out exactly how deep his divers are going. He tests the following diver setups and provides you with actual test results, not a guess!
The diver setups tested are.
- Standard Diver
- Standard Diver with Mag Ring
- Magnum Diver with Mag Weight and Ring
- Standard Diver with Mag Ring and added snap weight.

Awesome information Marc! Thanks for doing this test and making it available to watch!
Happy to help…
I was going to do this for myself but you already did it for everyone. What a nice guy.
Great video!
Thank you…
great info, I had powerpro v2 30lb on and a 4 7/8" divers got me 130 ft with 360 ft of line out at 2.3 mph. I am going to get a livescope lvs62 so I can always tell without having to bounce them on the bottom to check depth at different speeds.
Hi Marc, I guess you could increase the horizontal offset away from the boat by decreasing the diver weight. This might be helpful in the dark or when fish are spooky but not so deep. Great video.
Thanks…
Do you know what the depth would have been if you were on a setting #1 or #1.5 with the mag? as that is a common setting for people with their low diver...
You are a legend
Just trying to help everyone out
Thank you Marc, Doesn't the test data show that adding a weight to a diver increases the depth it reaches but therefore, also results is the diver not offsetting away from the boat as much as an unweighted diver? Great video.
I do not know how far away from the boat the diver is, but I did put the mag ring on to help push that diver away from the boat
What is the zero depth reference for the smart troll? The phone? In your boat the phone could be 8 feet from the surface.
Smart troll uses a pressure sensor. It doesn’t need a zero depth reference.
👍
Do slide divers travel to the same depths ? Can I use the same calculations ?
I find they are essentially the same curve :)
Does standard mean 107mm diameter and mag mean 124mm diameter? Thanks Marc!
Correct… think those are the right measurements.
How much does the Smart Troll weigh as this will take the dipsey down more than without a Smart Troll.
It’s neutrally buoyant
I would think anything you add to your line would keep it up a little bit higher in the water column as its not hydro dynamic
@@bill-ym9jr - won’t really ever know 100%
That said I’m betting it’s really close. Purpose of the video was to show the differences between diver configurations… Not so much the actual depth at 150ft on my clicker, as that will change from reel to reel as well.
What is your settings on divers
I mentioned somewhere in the middle of the video that it is a number three setting on Torpedo Seven Strand wire
You didn't tell us what setting the Dipsey was on or did I miss that ??
3 setting!
Number 3 - you missed it 😉
Was your reel calibrated correctly?
You don’t have to calibrate a reel with smart troll. The system tells you how deep this gear is.
@@KingsLandingSportFishing so you really don't know that you had 150 feet of line out? That doesn't make your test results overly accurate but thanks for taking the time to show us the difference in the diver depths.
@@ronbischer436 - end of the day it will be within 5%. I don’t know a Salmon fisherman that calibrates their reels to be 100%
Totally agree +/- 5% is acceptable. For those that have never checked it possible to be up to 20% off which would make a difference when trying to network information with others.
Just get a Cannon Fish hawk TD and get the temps as a bonus.
Had a Fishhawk TD… Good little unit but you can’t compare in the slightest.
@@KingsLandingSportFishing all this test is telling you how far away from the boat this is, not the true depth.
@@geraldvarner4311 - that’s incorrect… The SmartTroll uses an actual pressure sensor that gives actual depth.
For that kind of $ I would just buy a Fish Hawk 4x.@@KingsLandingSportFishing
@@geraldvarner4311 - Single Probe SmartTroll is less money that the X4. Two Probe setup is about the same cost. With the SmartTroll you have the ability to put the sensor on your divers and long lines. Can’t do that with the other systems.
Number one bad lighting you don’t backlight a video and you’re too far away to see your rig and I can barely hear you if you’re gonna make a video make it right 1:51
Was solo that day… End of the day I was able to give folks valuable info and this is a popular video.
Totally wrong! It's not showing your depth... only distance away from the boat... distance doe not eaqual depth. Get it right...
The system has a pressure sensor that measures actual depth. I can assure you it actually depth….. as the Canadian distributor for this system I work very closely with the creator of SmartTroll.
Where 's the fish , you 're our lucky one ???
I can’t post a picture on TH-cam but I got him… also released him to grow bigger, but it was a nice king around 15-16 pounds
