thanx all, looking at manual cannon ,the lake troll comes with 100 foot cable ,but does not tell me the max of cable that can be spooled,does any one know the cable spool capacity ,or what they state on website the max ?

cool ,thanx

When I started, we didn't have rod holders, so we would wedge our rod buts between the seat and engine dog house ,thats funny,thanx all ,i am taking all in ,awesome ,what would be the most economical downrigger people are using on lake O,keep in mind i have swim platform on stern ,cool

talk to me ryno23 ,i have rod holders on sides 2 each side ,what do i need ,ryno23 or what are you running

thanx,chas 0218 ,for info ,the Be sure to offset depths on riggers to keep from tangling on turns. was a great hint to help in turning what equipment do you use to determain deep water temp to get to the kings

in buying used downriggers either electric or manual ,what should i be looking for ? . Is 150 foot cable enough for lake ontario trout salmon fishing ,how big of downrigger do i need ,what size weights do they use on lake O, what size downriggers are people using up there,i have gone on several fishing trips for salmon/trout on lake O, and Juneau ,Ak, all my other fishing is all florida fishing so not to familiar with the downrigger fishing ,and 2 times out on lake O fishing trip ,the captain used planers ,not downriggers,,i think they did not have trolling motor ,not sure ? i just do not want to put 1000"S for downrigger equipment just to find out the downriggers do not work as well as another one might for lake ontario ,like downriggers that can't get down to the fish probably looking to slip near mexico or oswego,ny

appreciate the advice ,being a beginner to this whole downrigging fun ,i am probably gonna keep it manual ,one ,is i need to be able to take off boat for theft reasns, maybe if some one has pictures of their set up and how much it cost to get that equipment i have read and read so much that i am confused on all parts needed ,are planers totally different or should i be using planers does anybody have list and pictures of their setup so i can copy(lol) whats working up there ,trying to cut my learning curvedown is everybody using spinners or live bait ? thank yous
