I always run my divers on a slider, the style/size is going to depend on the amnt of current. I like mud bugs vs hot n tots, jets work well with lees current.
For kings, I put my diver on a 6" dropper, run a 5-6' leader 3 beads and a spin glo the same color as my beads...usually a 2/0 or 3/0 hook and a cocktail....6' deep or less=mud bug.... 6' or more= jet
If your dropper is heavier than your leader, you will very rarely lose a diver.....when/if you hang up...free spool and the diver will float to the surface allowing you to get it back and usually keep all your gear.
