Using a Downrigger 

Very nice video. The animations are elegant and smooth and everything is explained in a concise, easy-to-understand manner. Thanks for posting!

I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. ru-vid.comUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_aoWMZI8GUpmH I bought these lake trollers for my 15’ Grumman sport boat and they worked almost perfectly for fishing lake trout. The only negative is that they seemed sticky on the retrieval, so I removed the spool and greased the underside of the stainless steel plate with some lip balm (the only thing I could think to use that I had on the boat with me). Then they worked much more smoothly. I don’t recommend using these down riggers if you’re planning on fishing deeper than 50’ as you’ll spend more time cranking than you will fishing.

Thank you so much for the video. Was thinking about buying but thought it might be a hassle operating alone out on the water. This shows me It is very simple. Thanks again.

*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*

simple and easy explanation - thanks !

awesome I was wondering how they worked. I moved to kelowna bc and hear people talking about using down riggers for lake Trout.

Excellent description and instruction! Was trying to explain to a non fisherman... This was the perfect graphic I needed! 👍

Thanks... Lol I'm going to show this to my brother cause he thinks a down rigger reels in your fish for you

Nice video, I always wanted to know how a down rigger worked

The animations always make it look easy. There's so much more to consider. Line weight, troll speed, ball weight, line release poundage, electrical fields, but for the absolute basics the video is okay.

Wow! Now I know.Thank You for the clip.So informative.Greetings from Mexico 👍

so that's how they work! thx!

excellent animation!!

Thank you.

Thanks for the information, my dad and I have always wonder how they worked

How far do you put the lure from the downrigger weight ball?

Now I should try that on my kayak. :)

I run a set of the sport trolls on my boat, love mine.

now I need one :) Thanks !

well done video

great video! i wonder people that use downrigger always catch fish...lol

Thanks for your video, I live in Salt Lake City, how can I find those clips on Amazon, are they okay with the lead? with what name can I find them?

Is it a good idea to replace the cable with braided line instead?

I want it, how to buy

ola,gostei muito desse aparelho de pesca, gostaria de ter um para minha pescaria aqui em meu pais, seria muito interessante,obrigada pela atenção e ter resposta desse comentario

I talked to a lot of people and they said 30-50 ft back from the weight , is that the ball park your in too?

can this down rigger be stacked

I wonder how far u should keep your lure away from the weight when u troll

Is it trolling or trauling?

Ted Beneke?

scusate volevo sapere se della versione troll 5 ts oltre il cannon link è possibile montarlo con scarpetta dedicata?

You keep your lure about 30-50 ft away fromt he weight

no its smart

this looks like cheating
