Downriggers

Downrigger are for controled depth fishing, when you are out in your boat and see fish showing on the Sonar at 50ft , you can send a lure or bait directly to them and with the right Sonar set up you can  "see" your lures going right through the holding fish. You can also use your Downriggers to run your lures just off the bottom and putting them right in the face of fish lying in structure near to the bottom.

We sell Downriggers by Big Jon ,Cannon and Scotty in Clamp on, Bolt on, Manuals and Electrics. Each Downrigger sold comes with  an instruction sheet that will help you get set up and using your Rigger without you wasting time trying to figure out how to get fishing with it.
