When using braided line with the Slide Diver Lite Bite, the diver at times would tend to slide on the line. That’s a problem we used to hear from users of the Slide Divers & Slide Diver Lite Bite. When using fabric or braided line, replacing the spring with the vinyl tubing has solved most of the slippage issue. The vinyl tubing is a recent addition and now comes with each #1 Slide Diver and Slide Diver Lite Bite in 2008.
The new fabric or braided fishing lines are a different story. For these lines, we have substituted the vinyl tubing for use, where the spring had previously been used and is still currently used with monofilaments. The vinyl tube is just soft enough to grab the new braided lines. One final note: Don’t use the vinyl tubing with monofilament. The monofilament actually sticks too well to the vinyl and will cut it.
If slippage continues to be an issue, the surgical tubing the line passes through to be protected as the arm presses down on it can be rotated 180 degrees. Adding this along with the use of the vinyl tubing versus spring, has virtually eliminated this problem in using fabric or braided lines. There are some fishing lines that may still cause a problem when trying to use them with the Slide Diver or Slide Diver Lite Bite– they tend to have a silicone based agent and just won’t work with Slide Diver or Slide Diver Lite Bite.

Braided Lines
In some cases braided line can slip through the diver. To help prevent slippage, rotate the surgical tubing between the jaws and the arm mount 180° in either direction and set the latch arm into the jaws (see diagram ).
