You mark fish holding deep, but your trolled lures ride too high to ever reach them. Spooling on more weight kills your lure action and fouls your line on the turns, and by the end of the day you're guessing instead of fishing the strike zone. A trolling diving board fixes that without changing your whole setup.
This K-type diving board clips inline ahead of your leader and uses water pressure against its angled face to drive your bait down and out, holding a steady depth at trolling speed. The hi-visibility orange hull is easy to track on the surface, and the smooth, low-drag body lets you run faster without blowing out. The molded plastic shell shrugs off salt, sun, and knocks, and the pre-rigged cord with a reinforced tow point ties straight into your mainline or release setup. It imparts a subtle wiggle that brings a lifelike wobble to spoons, plugs, and rigged baits, then planes off to the side to spread your spread and cut tangles. Built for inshore and offshore trolling for tuna, kingfish, wahoo, salmon, and other migratory species, it's a simple, repeatable way to put baits where the fish actually are.
Anglers running diving boards consistently mark more strikes at depth than they do dragging lures across the top. Pair two on opposite sides to widen your spread and cover more water on every pass.
- K-type design planes bait down and out to reach deep holding fish
- Hi-visibility orange hull for easy tracking on the water
- Smooth low-drag body holds depth at higher trolling speeds
- Imparts a lifelike wiggle and wobble to spoons, plugs, and baits
- Durable molded plastic resists salt, UV, and impact
- Pre-rigged cord with reinforced tow point ties in fast
- Spreads lines to reduce tangles when running multiple rods
- Inshore and offshore use for tuna, king, wahoo, and salmon
How to use: 1) Tie the board's tow cord inline ahead of your leader. 2) Set out your bait and let the board plane down as you troll. 3) Adjust trolling speed and line length to dial in depth, then run a second board on the other side to widen your spread. Keep fingers clear of the line under load.

What verified customers say
Run two of these off the back of my center console for kings and they finally get my spoons down where the fish are sitting. Used to drag everything across the top and wonder why I got skunked. The orange is easy to keep an eye on in the chop. Solid little board.
Trolling for salmon on the big lake and this gets baits to depth without me clamping on a pound of lead. Tracks straight and planes off to the side nice so my lines aren't a knot by lunch. Wish the cord was a hair longer but easy to re-rig.
Bought one to try before committing and ended up grabbing two more. They wobble the plug just enough to look alive and they hold depth at a faster troll than I expected. Plastic feels tough, no cracks after a full season in saltwater.
Took the kids out for wahoo and wanted something simple I could set and not babysit. Tie it in, drop it back, done. The bright color makes it easy to point out to the boys when a fish hits. Way cheaper than the name-brand ones and works the same for me.
Upgraded from a flimsy diving plate that kept blowing out on turns. This K-type stays planing through the turns and digs down fast. The tow point is reinforced so I'm not worried about it pulling out on a big fish. Good value.
Offshore guy here, mostly tuna. This thing spreads my outside lines and keeps the spread clean. Does exactly what a diving board should. Only note is to check your knots at the tow point after a hard fight, but that's true of any rig.
