I have 2 big jon slide and lock bases and 6" pedestals that were used for the board I had on the back of my boat. I even have a 2x10 of stained Douglas fir that had 4 riggers mounted to it if you want it.

Where are you located? I think that would work for me. I'm in New Hampshire.

He Bass, look at this thread. It is a bunch of guys on this very topic which I was exploring as well as what my final solution ended up being which was $200 delivered, took me about 2 hours to install, and has worked great!

Do you have a picture of your finished product? It sounds like just what I'm looking for. What did you use for the board? Channel or rectangular tube?

What is the best place to get trolling tackle and gear online?? Bass Pro and Cabela's don't have much of a selection.

I bought a Cannon speed n temp used. It reads fine down to 80'. Any deeper than that, the screen goes blank. The box said it came with a coated cable. Do I need to get a coated cable to get it to work over 80'?

I have a Lund Pro-V and I'm thinking about adding a downrigger mounting board so I can run 3 or 4 downriggers. I've been looking at the ones made by Bert's. $462.00 is more than I want to spend. I want something that is easily removable because I use the boat for other types of fishing. Does anyone have any ideas for a cost effective way to make this type of set up? Or does anyone know of any options that are less expensive than the ones made bu Bert's?

Thanks for the info. Looks like blacks or chamberlains are the way to go.

I have always used Roemers and I have been frustrated with them lately. My line wears a groove into the plastic line clip and gets stuck in the groove. It won't release when it gets caught in the groove. I'm ready to try something different. What do you guys like
