I have and do jig for lake trout but I just got riggers so I'm learning and getting set up for another technique when jigging isn't possible Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Lineman, Thanks for the help. Fixed my rod holders Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

That's the unit I'm looking at getting too. Sounds awesome especially with the down scan Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I picked the brain of a lowrance pro at the Toronto sportsman show. After a lengthy conversation he has convinced me that that elite 7 would be my best bet. Based on the fact that there won't be anything additional I will add. The only thing I wish the elite series had like the HDS series is the wireless hookup to an iPad or tablet. That would be great to have. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have 2 older model big Jon downriggers with dual rod holders. 1 of the rod holders is very loose and can't seem to get it to stay up as it always falls to its lowest position. Any suggestions on how one might fix that? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have 2 big Jon electric riggers. Just looking for advice on some rods. Other techniques (dipsys planer boards ect) will come in time. Just new to the downrigging game. Gotta start somewhere

Ha ha thanks les. Ill need all the luck I can get.

Sk8man, appreciate the input but I think what I was saying came out wrong and agree with you. That I should look into dipsys before electronics. However that being said my boat fish finder is garbage an I like to fish multiple species and finding structure is important so that is a priority first the probe is really just something one day I would like to have. Nessmuk. Deff gonna look into that book. I'm a very beginner when it comes to trolling so a good read may be very helpful. So back to the task at hand. Any other suggestions for trolling rods?

For some reason dipsy divers don't interest me at this point but they seem to be used by a lot o people. Would love to run some planer boards with riggers double stacked with mupps. Having enough trouble getting the boss on board to buy all my rigging gear. Dipsys will have to wait a few years. Plus I would like to get a new fish finder/GPS and fish hawk x4d too.

I have a 17 foot crestliner super hawk. I usually fish solo or with 1 max 2 buddy's.

Next year I plan on doing a lot of trolling for lake trout any suggestions on a brand and action rod I should use. I currently have 2 berkley 9'8" medium action. Looking for 2 more that would work for salmon too

X2. I have a bass pro version. I h e yet to net salmon but has worked great for 5# bass and walleye. Hopefully next year it will see more lake trout and salmon due to my riggers being installed. Love the rubber coating. Even if hook gets caught it comes out pretty easy
