I broke one of my down rigger rods and am looking to replace it. Unfortunately can’t find any any where. Must not make them anymore. Like to keep them all the same.
If I were you I’d start with wire. Braid sucks during flea season. Copper isn’t made for divers!!! As far as divers look into chinook divers made in Rochester. Super nice people to deal with and a great quality product. They come with a chart. We use the biggest ones for salmon. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
Start with dipsys! Most days for me they will catch more fish than my downriggers. Lot cheaper getting started! Good luck and good fishing! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
