Bass pro shops has them, get a 3 or 4 chain...........you be glad you did.

EZ looks good.........maybe put heavier pull line on it.......some of bagleys hooks if hooked multiple are very strong.

Also, when fishin' them, take zooks advice, don't stop reeling. The motion of the crank when retreiving will make it virtually weedless; however, when stopped, the lure tends to snag in the structure you are fishing.

Hope this helps.

Gotta disagree with you there, hoss. I've caught a BUNCH of bass throwing a Rapala DT-10 into 2-3 feet of water. Throwing the deeper crank allows me to stay in the strike zone longer.

reb yes ya can catch fish real shallow with a deep diver. but steveo is also right a deep diver fished real skinny does not run right or straight.. on average i use a 4 depth lure approach.. a shallow diver like the bandit 100 out to about 4 feet. in the 4-7 feet range i use a dt6,wiggle wart. in 7-10 feet got to say either a lc d-12, norman lil n,poes 300. from 10-20 feet the lc d-20,bandit 700,poes 400+p....

the key to any of this is time on da water actually fishing it..
