I use dipsy divers because you can set them not only to go down, but also out from the boat and they cost a lot less.

You can use a dipsy with a regular rod, but it depends on a number of things; what fish you are going for, how deep do you want to go, etc. What some charter boats do is run the down riggers and the dipsy divers at the same time for variety, covering different depths and more area. If you really need to go deep, the down rigger is better. If you are not going so deep the dipsy diver works well and is a lot easier to set up. The deeper you go with the dipsy diver, the bigger the model you need, and therefore put more strain on your rod and because of this your rod may not handle the bigger models. Hope this helps. Just to throw a fly in the ointment, if the fish are fairly shallow, trolling with plainer boards work well also.

I would guess that they would be fairly shallow 25 to 50ft. With the weird weather we have had, it is hard to predict.
