WANT: Smaller Manual Downriggers

Post by mitchard » Sun May 13, 2012 9:10 am

Looking for two smaller downriggers for my 14' aluminum. Just want to be able to hit up the lake and rivers a bit. There are some decent new ones for around $100, but I figured I might as well check in and see if anyone has some to get rid of for cheaper. [thumbup]

How did those guys work for you? I saw them in Sportco the other day and wondered about them. They seemed a little lightweight to me.

I'm fishing Cannon Mini Lake trollers and they work fine for Kokane and Sockeye. They aren't made for over 6# balls and I am happy with 4# for mine. I just switched to braided downrigger line on them and it got rid of the "buzz" and gave me less angle in the water.

Nate, they actually work really well. Yes they do look a little light weight but they handle a 4lb ball just fine. I changed the cable to braid to get rid of that humming. But well worth the money and you can mount them anywhere.
