Down Jigger

[Missdemeanor]

Anybody had any experience with these rigs? Saw them on the Outdoor Channel the other day, and thought " why wouldn't this work for here?" Thanks for the input ......

These came out some years ago. I saw them over at the Cleveland IX center when they first came out. I don't own one and really don't know of anyone who does. At the time I looked at them ,I felt that they personally wouldn't benefit me that much. Maybe someone who has tried one will say something different.

Are you talking about a unit that goes on the downrigger and pumps the line?It looks like a fish?

i have a black one i used it on Otsego Lake in cooperstown ny for lake trout. i mainly ran the sutton fluter spoons off it. i got some fish on it. i have it here if anyone is intersested in one. $10.00 plus shipping.

Yea its the one that looks like a fish.......Got on the site the other day and they run about $85. Kind of big out west on the pacific for kings......

Yeah that's the one I have .Haven't use it in a long time maybe I should try it again.It puts allot of blow back on the cable below 40 feet but might be good for early spring.

I've got one sitting in my workshop downstairs. They originally were selling for around $100.00 Cdn but now you can buy them for $10.00. That should tell you something right there. Every time I had the thing down it drove me crazy. When the line moved in & out the rod moved up & down & I got sick of grabbing for the rod thinking I had a hit. It won't be going on the boat anytime soon.
