mark10187 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hi guys, I've been thinking of buying a downrigger of late but im pretty stumped at which one i should buy i was mainly going to use it for downrigging for kings and the like but also would use it for downrigging for trout and natives can anyone suggest a model that would best suit this???

DGF Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 what size boat? i use a scotty's depthmaster 1050 its a lil short on the arm for my boat but it does the trick the canon is also another great unit too but if you are down rigging trout as well the 1050 depthmaster will do the trick.

DGF Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 thats ok my depthmaster 1050 still goes over my 30cm step at the back but i have it angled out from the corner of the boat works well the canons do have longer arms as well but there is the scottys have a few differant ones as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
