Tatoo diving swimmer

I received some money as a gift from the dad in law specifically to buy some lures so I figured I would pick up the diving swimmers. Anyone use them and how deep do they dive? I might pick up some darters as well.....I bet the darters would work well in the canal.

Definitely a great plug...

This is a friend of mine with a 35# fish that ate a Diving Swimmer despite having a 19" bass in it's belly.

I like the flash gleams off the VSs.

That really is a cool effect.

this plug flat out works. the depth ranges from 1' to up to 4'+ depending on any adjustments you can make to the eye of the plug. stock out of the package, i think it averaged about 2' or so.

i had an experience last fall where i used this lure while battling a decent swell. this plug did everything i wanted it to - cast well, stayed in the water until i was kicking up stones 10' from my rod tip, and never pulled out of the surf due to the swells. you will not see my plug bag w/o this plug during most of the year.

Thanks guys, picked up a couple of deep swimmers along with some other goodies!

Well actually thanks Dad-in-Law! ill send him a picture of the lures in the packages when they arrive

I was looking for a lure that dove just under the surf and not too deep like a darter would...from reading about the lures I think these swimmers will do what I want.

We're hoping to take some good pictures of it in the next few weeks and get them up on the web.

It's not cheap but it's the best locking rod rack out there by far.
