I have one manual Downrigger. Don't have room on the other side. 
 

what are my options outside a rigger that can get my lures down to 120-140 feet?

 

I have a wire rod and another mono rod.

 

i want to run cowbells because I've had success with the one rigger. Should I use a three way swivel? Bottom bouncing weights?

 

can I get a reccomendation on best practice for my options on how to functionally get that lure down? Looking for recommendations on lures, weights, rods, lines, etc. I appreciate the advice!

You can run a wire thumper rig.  Use a three way swivel, a 1lb weight and your cowbells.  Run a 3-4' dropper for the 1lb weight.  Let it out until you hit bottom.  Let it settle and let it out to bump again.  dragging the weight will get you more hits.  Fighting lakers this way is not fun but very productive.  I highly recommend Hammerhead Cowbells and Gambler Rigs!

Laker fishing definitely not my thing but unfortunately have to fish for them from time to time and other dragging bells through the mud on riggers you can run mag divers on wire with a dodger and spin-n-glow and get down in that range and they will produce and usually produce bigger fish.if you can get the diver to tick bottom,that’s even better.any white/green or the yellow with orange dot dodger, I think they are like 8” and a big spin-n-glow will work,gambler,here on the lou site sells everything you need to catch lakers.
