>>669486Just checked Berkley's site and the Diggers look to come in two different running depths, 5 to 8 feet and 7 to 9 feet. If you're fishing from a boat and casting toward shore you'd want to start your retrieve a little slower so it isn't bottoming out (unless you're trying to bounce the structure like a rock bed). Do the reverse fishing from shore. You can start reeling at a normal pace to get it down to its running depth quickly and then gradually reduce your reeling to keep it off the bottom as comes toward shore. And of course in either case you can always do a stop-and-go retrieve where you make it dart down, stop reeling to let it start floating back up to the surface, then reeling some more.
I'd say it's a good piece of tackle to have so you definitely didn't fuck up. If the waters you'll be fishing tend to be fairly shallow and you want a crankbait you can steadily retrieve go with smaller to mid-sized square-billed crankbaits. Most typically don't run more than 1 to 5 feet which makes them good for running over top of submerged structure or above the tips of aquatic grass beds that have yet to reach the surface. I mentioned them above but I really like the Rebel Bluegill crankbaits. If you can find one of the three-packs and you'll save yourself about a buck per bait.
