Downrigger Snubber

Im looking for some snubbers to run on my down riggers, before the ball.  Anybody have a product they like?

i seen that one.  it looks like a piece of rubber.  How strong is that rubber?

 

Amish outfitters makes one that looks similar, but has 500lb spectra inside.  Anybody use those?

[work2fish]

It's plenty strong to run with 20lb shark weights. But not too strong that you'll loose your probe !!! The snubber will break before the rigger cable will so you'll lose the ball before you loose everything.

The only problem with the Scotty snubbers is the odd snap they use on them won't work with my weights, the rubber holds up fine.

 

Big John's have a regular snap swivel on them

The Amish snubbers are very durable!

I just purchased the Amish Outfitter snubbers and used them Saturday for the first time and they seem good.

Have used the Amish Outfitter snubbers for a few years.  Hold up well and take the "snap" out of the stop on Cannon high speed riggers.  Reasonably priced also.

have a set of the rubber ones and they are getting old now they look fine but wounder how long they will last before they brake . i don't store them in the sun to try to keep them from rotting .

I like the snap on these. Scotty has a strange clip.

Scotty's clips are awesome if they fit your weights, way stronger and faster than swivel

I picked up the Amish Outfitter snubbers.  That goofy snap on the Scotty had me worried.  I have no idea how it works or if it would fit my balls.  Will see how they work this friday - sunday.

l have been running the Amish  Outfitters snubbers on my cannons for 3 years ,no issues work great.

Scotty snubber. Put a chain link clamp on the downrigger weight and then connect the snubber.

I used Amish snubbers last year... my brother hung up the weight and the rubber pulled out of the zip tie but spectra held and he and my dad retrieved everything. Very happy about that! He tried to repair it, but couldn't. I just picked up 2 more.

"If it would fit my balls". Sorry, that's funny.
