    If I ever had 20 hookups in a handful of hours during the middle of the day, I would sell my boat and everything else and call it. Last weekend I spent an hour trying to untangle a dipsey and a rigger setup that got twisted up when my autopilot freaked and started turning a circle. That was fun.

    Good morning! Seeing that you have a Penn electric down rigger for sale made me look, but then I found out that it is a Big Jon, which is not a Penn.

    Anybody guess when algae will clear on Cayuga?

    At one time, I was using 12# pancake weights, and just to give me piece of mind, I bent the back fin to one side and the other weight to the other side, and I could see the difference in how far to the side the cable was running and never had them cross. Check and see if a fin has gotten bent, as that would cause your problem, and like others have recommended, switch sides with your weights.

    The only problem I can think of with divers is too much drag on them, and they roll over and stop working. As far as getting deep with divers, is the Lite Bite slide diver has a 7 oz weight kit for going deep. I can get down to 65' or more with the stanDard weight and small ring, so I'm guessing the 7 oz weight and large ring would get you very deep. And you always have the option of using wire. But dipsy's, deeper divers, slide divers will all turn with just a deep diving crank bait. so your limited to what you can use with them.

    I started out using home made riggers on Lake Michigan back in 77, and after breaking the booms in rough water, I bought some others. Then I used manual up until a few years ago. Then I got a little money and was watching electric riggers on eBay, and 2 different sellers were having a price war on Big Jon Pro Tournament riggers, and when the price hit 500.00 each and free shipping, I ended up buying 4 of them. But after using all 4 on my small boat, I sold 2 of them and still use 2. I walleye fish Erie's central basin and run 3 lite bite slide divers and 1 rigger per side.

    Jigging lakers on Lake Ontario is way harder than Cayuga. You don't have the big currents we have on Lake Ontario.

    We catch many lakers on Cayuga this way.

    Stop trolling and try jigging.

    Look at how far apart your booms are on the back of your boat . Then consider that you are dropping your weights down all that way and they are swinging around down there in the current . I'm kind of surprised it doesn't happen more often . Attaching the release to the back of the weight stabilizes the weight from swinging around so much from the drag of the line from the rod and lure. Bad current days it was happening a lot to me . This solved it for me and hasn't happened since .

    You're fine Sherman, no overstepping noted. That's the approach I'm taking here. Someone getting started with riggers and wants electrics over manuals. I started with small manuals, upgraded to Uni-Troll manuals and then to the Mag10's. Don't know why I waited so long. I took everything related to these off the boat so it'd be easy for someone to install them. No buying bases, power cords, etc. Everything is there. Would even make a nice backup pair.

    Don’t take the ring off,let it out as long as it takes to hit bottom,run the diver on a 1.5,setting and at 1.5-1.8 mph you should be ticking bottom at 300’ out in around 130 fow
