Downrigger Ball Max Weight


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the max ball weight for electric Big Jon Captain Packs? I looked all over their website and couldn't find anything. I bought them used so I don't have the user's manual either.

Thanks

Dam I was hoping they would handle more than 9lbs. The guy I bought mine from said he used 12.5 lb torpedoes but before I ordered a couple I wanted to make sure. I also have an email in to Big Jon, I'll let you know what they say.

Double G - I run 12.5# torpedos with no problem on these same riggers (somewhere I read or saw that 12# is max). Yes they're a little slower, but they work fine and have never tripped the breaker.

Good luck on the water,

- Chris
