For the swivel base and rod holders you dont have choice , they are mold in the downrigger.
When i said the base are not included ,i wanna talk about the base you fixed on the boat to clip the Downrigger on it.
569,99 x 2 = 1139,98
1139,98 +taxes = $1299,57 approx
You saved $300 approx !
I think it's a good deal
My downriggers seems like a new one.
