Halco poltergeist and Stumpjumper for snapper?
Now that's new to me.

I'm assuming they need to be 1-2m off the bottom and super slow troll.
So using 3m dive for fishing in 5m water should be okay.
With the big bib I think the little stump jumpers were supposed to dive to 4.5m or something. I found they worked quite well for flathead when you let them hit the bottom from time to time.

The downside is they get full of weed really easily so I've started using weedless rigged soft plastics.

Rapala tail dancer 11cm (TD11), dives to 30ft. Perfect diving depth for where I fish. Admittedly I haven't hooked a decent red on one yet, but I have caught a few decent frogs on them. I like em.

There is also a 13cm model which dives to 40ft (12m) if anyone's interested.
