Its only going to work if the tablet is on a wireless plan with a cell carrier or if you have a WiFi hotspot on your boat as well.

_{LOL yes they are, just barely......., I use the OR10 Planer line releases and on my downriggers use the Chamberlain releases.}

Big Jon was out of stock too, just FYI......

Im gonna re-measure and rework the string length and give them another try and see if they are any better.

Thanks everyone!!!

Half keel will fix the issue. They will pull nicely. Fat Nancys in Pulaski has the half keels.

Fat Nancys is saying they are out of stock too!

I run between 1.7 and 2.4.....nothing dramatic....

Im gonna play with the knots again this weekend, just getting really frustrated listening to my buddy complain that they don't pull hard enough compared to his. I contacted Big Jon and they are out of stock on the 2nd keels....

What about when you want different depths? In NH for landlocks, I like to run 2 or 3 colors of lead early season. Do you guys do that with copper lengths to achieve different depths? I will run 2 colors on my outside lines, then 3 colors on my inside. All my leaders are 75ft long, regardless of color. So if a fish hits the 2 color setup, it swings to the back , but its higher in the water column than the 3 color setup and they don't tangle. I know the difference between 2 and 3 colors is just a few feet, but trying to cover a couple of different depths to find the salmon. So theoretically my 2 color lines are 135ft back and my 3 colors are 165feet back and 3-5feet deeper.

Hi guys,

Anyone else have this problem and have any hints on how I can fix it. A few issues Ive had.....

1. If letting them out too fast, they dive, AND DIVE HARD!!! To combat this I now just let them out very slowly, but I doubt they are supposed to do this at all!
2. When pulling even just 2 or 3 colors of lead for shallow trolling they sag back, I used to have the yellow Riviera boards and they did not do this, I have made 4 knot loops in the string to try and find the right setting to make these pull harder, still haven't got it right yet.
3. Tried the recommended 9" from the front and 14" from the back knot...still not much difference.
4. Tried ordering the 2nd keel Atomik just happened to be out of them and  cant seem to find them anywhere else....

Anyone else have any other info to offer? I have a Great Lakers Planer Rocket launcher with the planer reels built on to them, so the lines are coming from a nice high angle to the boards....

Thanks!!

Thanks everyone!! I already owned the reels and aren't using them for anything, so that's why I am going to use them. I appreciate the feedback!

Question for you guys who troll Dipsy's on the lake. I want to setup 2 Dipsy rods, I have pretty much decided to go with 9'6" Daiwa Heartland rods, and I have 2 Cabelas DMG-45 reels that I am gonna use on them. What do you use for line on the reels? Wire or Power Pro? I am gonna bring the reels with me next week to Pulaski and get them spooled up, but not sure which is the best option. If Power Pro I can spool them myself, if wire, I don't know the 1st thing about wire so im looking for advice....I run copper setups while trolling on my planer boards, so not a newbie just have never used wire and Dipsy's are just a new weapon in the arsenal I want to try.

Thanks!!

I have them, I really like them. I bought the 30's which are a bit bigger than I really wanted, should of gotten the 20's. They will replace if they break too, so I really like that!!

I have 2 sets of these downriggers, 2 have swivel bases, the other 2 do not.

The wrapping a wet rag/towel around the antenna really does help conduct the signal better. Just take some water and pour it on every once in a while to keep it wet.

Hi Steelie,

Does this have an alternator that will charge the batteries while trolling?

Thanks!
