  1. 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

  2. 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
