The slide-diver lite bite uses the properties of a diver disk to take lures down and away from the boat, but allows the angler to stretch the offering well behind the diver, which instantly releases at the lightest bite from a fish. "We like to say that as soon as your rod moves, all you have to do is remove it from the rod holder and reel", says company president and Slide Diver inventor randy even, a charter captain out of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. "Basically, it's like having a tackle box downrigger-put one on either side of the boat and you have two more precise depth control devices that allow you to set lines as deep below and as far behind the boat as you want." The Slide Diver lite-bite, like the original Slide Diver, has a mechanism that allows it to be clamped down anywhere on the fishing line. What sets the lite bite apart is an extra "arm" that instantly pries the release mechanism open when a fish of any size hits. Properly adjusted, the lite-bite can handle everything from the smallest spoons and walleye spinner rigs to the largest flashers and cut herring set-ups. Even noted that anglers who troll for virtually any species, from crappie and walleye to salmon and striped bass will benefit from the new disk. "We've been testing this design for more than two years and feel it's right where we want it to be to work perfectly every time," says even. "The days of towing a small fish around behind a diver without knowing it are gone for good."
