Down east salty rod holder on a Scotty downrigger


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to install a Salty rod holder on a Scotty downrigger without interfering with the downrigger?  This would eliminate the need for new tracks and rod holders.  I don't have the Scottys yet so I don't have much experience with the way they look or function.  I will use the Saltys for dipsys.  thanks

I think you might have a couple of problems right off the bat. One you'd have to have a workable mount and although they make several I don't think any would be great for that application and two It would be a problem getting the right angle while still keeping the rod secure. I'd sure be using a safety line n the rods if you go that route. I think I'd be either using some PVC pipe with end caps and making my own (tubular type holders) or getting regular downrigger mounts if it were me.
