I ran dipseys off just regular old downrigger rods for several years. They work just fine. I will say that it seems rods that are built for dipseys do have some advantages...

I use 10' Okuma Blue Diamond Dipsey rods and the way the rod is designed to bend is differnt than a rigger rod and helps to get the diver, rod and everything cleared out the side of the boat.

These in particular are just stiffer than normal it seems till about 2/3 up and then get a lot more flex.

I had real good luck with the Diawa Heartlands for the money they are a real good rod I would say.
