I'm using a Dipsy Diver to troll for salmon and steelhead on the Columbia River, usually with a spoon or spinner, sometimes with a flasher at depths of 30-70'. I'm sure you could use them in the ocean as well. Most of the guys around here would rather drag a 3 lb "cannonball" weight across the bottom. You have to know how to use the Dipsy correctly to get it at the depth required.
Dipsys are standard issue on the Great Lakes for walleye and steelhead if you are not using a downrigger.
