PRED-ATOR Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi Mate, You'd be better off using a sinker, to mitigate any of the risks u just spoke of. Down rig when slow trolling baits. When i was down rigging (using a 10LB bomb) i would just put the boat into gear, no faster than that. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aussie007 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 u could use it at anchor with dead baits sit the bait 30 meters out the back at x deep, a downrigger has many uses even place the bait 2-3 meters off the bottom 30 meters out the back for shy jewies that wont go near the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
