sounds like a decent idea mate. the only problem i can think of is finding the correct depth to set the bomb on your downrigger + setting the downrigger rod horizontal. you might be able to put depth markers on the line if using an overhead reel. the bail arm would cause problems on a spin reel with this technique.
has anybody made downrigger? If so, do you think it is worth doing, or is it better to just buy one.
any tips on construction plus costs would be appreciated!
cheers everybody!
