Coated downrigger cable for probe

[tangledline]

Just got a Subtroll and the cable they supply with it looks a bit wimpy. Can I get coated cable that is a bit heavier/better?

I used this coated cable for my depth raider. pretty sure it can be used for sub troll as well. If you give him a call I am sure he can let you know.

Dave what MANIAC posted is where I got mine...........I've just been looking for that site for the last 30 minutes or so and gave up............. :?

Thanks Guys ...... here's the thing. Don't most riggers run 200#? I see 210# on the site Maniac sent. Thanks for the input

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought 150 lb was pretty much the standard. One thing to consider if going to 210 lb coated cable is the even larger diameter it will have which will cause even more cable blowback.

I flip my cable at the end of each season and use the other end. After 2 seasons it gets a fresh spool.

Maniac ...... you make a real good point and if you've been using the 150 and taking the time to switch it around and then change it .....that's sounds good to me. So now the only question is clear or black coating?

[MANIAC]

Just my preference, I use black.
