Abstract: A dive plane is used with fishing tackle for maintaining a fishing lure in a submerged state when trolling for fish at speeds between 12 and 20 knots. The dive plane has a body with a cross-section in the form of a cruciform. The cross-section defines upper and lower vertical segments and right and left horizontal planing segments. The body also has at least one rear aperture at a back end for connection of a leader and lure and at least two vertically spaced front holes along a front edge of the upper vertical segment for selective connection of the fishing line according to a desired trolling speed and diving depth of the trolled lure.
