Riggers and rod holders mounted to the plywood. Riggers have a 6X6 3/8 thick aluminum backing plate under the plywood Dipsy rod holders I used SS fender washers as a backing. Rigger booms are extended to 5ft when in use with 12 lb weights. I usually run the riggers 90 deg out to the sides.Everything is plenty strong enough and been there a long time with no issues. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I built a couple pedestals out of aluminum and mounted them to the plywood seat tops where you have your rod holders on my little boat. Will post pictures when I get home

I saw a few of them on facebook market place a couple days ago if you don't have any luck here.

My buddy went 4 for 6 this morning in 5 to 10 fow casting plugs and spoons from his drift boat. The fish are there but it;s a tough bite.. Good luck and post a report when you fish.

I'll take them. will be up in mexico this weekend. You going to be around?

It's that time of year again. The spawning season sales pitch. Same BS every fall.

All my 500 & 600s are LC's. 800's with copper and cores no LC"S

Happy with my Tekotas and I own over 2 dozen between 800's, 600's and 500's. Taken an awful lot of fish on them and no regrets. Good luck with your decision.

Great fish!!! Congratulations.

If you decide to go with scottys I would recommend the older style with the mechanical counters. Pretty much bullet proof. Also the extendable boom and the swivel base gives you all the flexibility you will ever need https://johnssportinggoods.com/product/downriggers/scotty-downriggers/electric-downrigger/scotty-downrigger-1116/ https://johnssportinggoods.com/product/downriggers/scotty-downriggers/electric-downrigger/scotty-downrigger-1106/ Good luck with your decision

I guess looting and burning are not worth mentioning by some.

Nice Brown. congrats

You will be happy with the cannons. Glad you caught it before you lost anything,
