  1. I use the BN2227C for walleye and salmon, plan to use the BN3136S, but you won't believe how hard it is to find a hoop/net without a handle......I prefer the rubber nets for eyes.  Salmon, prefer nylon net due to the weight when the net us fully extended.

    I've never understood the hype on these high-end downriggers... all the functions are great marketing points but how many of them are practical? There's maybe one or two useful functions and the rest the average fisherman would never use. Auto-up all? Just what I want is a bunch of slack line floating around the back of the boat when I have a fish on cuz I raised all the riggers at once and didn't reel any lines in. Displaying Fishawk data is cool I guess but between your phone and the FH headunit how many places do you really need to see it? The different "jigging" modes or bottom tracking, sure sound nice but you still have to stand there and work the rod/reel or you're gonna pop a release or have no tension on the rod. $3k+ for 2 riggers is money I could better spend elsewhere when I could do the same thing with $500 worth of riggers.

    Exactly, but if you get em on a screamin deal or have the means, would be something to consider
