The Talora Dipsey Diver series is a seven-rod freshwater trolling lineup built for use with Dipsy Diver and planer board presentations. All models use TC4 blank construction with SeaGuide aluminum oxide guides and EVA grips. The series pairs with Shimano Tekota reels according to Shimano's trolling pairing recommendations.
Lengths run from 7'0" through 10'6" with power classes from medium to medium-heavy and actions from moderate to moderate fast. Line ratings span 10-17 lb on the lightest model to 15-30 lb on the medium-heavy models. All models are single-piece except the 8'0", 9'0", 9'6", 10'6", and 10'0" models which are two-piece.
Pricing runs $159.99 to $199.99. The longer 9'6" and 10'0"/10'6" models with moderate fast action are the most distance-oriented, suited to getting Dipsy Divers and planer boards farther from the boat to spread the trolling pattern.

A closer look at notable models.
7'0" medium, moderate action rated 10-17 lb. Single-piece construction and the shortest Dipsy Diver model. The lighter line rating and shorter blank suits smaller diver sizes in shallower inland water trolling.
8'0" medium-heavy, moderate action rated 15-30 lb. Two-piece construction. Steps up to a heavier line class and medium-heavy power for larger diver rigs or higher trolling speeds on the Great Lakes.
9'0" medium, moderate action rated 12-25 lb. Two-piece 9-foot model providing added length for spreading the troll pattern. Medium power keeps it appropriate for mid-size Dipsy Divers and planer boards.
9'0" medium-heavy, moderate action rated 15-30 lb. Same length as the TLA90M2A but heavier power and higher line rating for more aggressive trolling setups or larger divers.
9'6" medium-heavy, moderate fast action rated 15-30 lb at $199.99. The longest medium-heavy model and the most expensive in the series. The moderate fast action and 9'6" blank help position planer boards farther from the boat.
10'0" medium-heavy, moderate fast action rated 15-30 lb. Two-piece construction at 10 feet with a heavier power class. The 6-inch foregrip and 12.2-inch EVA grip are consistent across all Dipsy Diver models.
10'6" medium, moderate fast action rated 12-25 lb. The longest model in the Dipsy Diver series. The 10'6" moderate fast blank maximizes distance from the boat for planer board presentations targeting wary fish.
