ABSTRACT:
A deep sea fishing diver according to the present invention includes a body having front and rear ends, opposed top and bottom surfaces, and opposed sides that extend away from the top surface. The body includes a configuration that defines a center of gravity that is coincident with a center of effort. The diver includes a balance bar having forward and rearward portions extending upward from the top surface with a connecting portion. The balance bar is configured such that a fishing line attached thereto is movable between ready and tripped configurations. Gravity and current forces acting on the center of effort are collinear with a force between the fishing line and balance bar. This construction enables the diver to descend and maintain its position without weights, avoids erroneous tripping, and reduces cost.
