Scotty 2116 High Performance Electric Downrigger W/300', 180 Lb. Ss Cable & 447 Dual Rod Holder - 2116 - 736-2116F1

Downrigger fishing is a whole new style of trolling. It may take a little while to get used to it, but after you begin to catch fish with it, you'll never go back to using heavy tackle. Unlike conventional trolling, the first evidence of a strike may show with just a wiggle of your rod tip or your downrigger pulley. When a fish strikes, your rod tip goes up, the line will momentarily go slack and you now have your fish on the line with no weight at all! Quite often, the fish will rush to the surface (with no weight to hold him down) and put up a spectacular fight right on top. Scotty Electric Downriggers have reached the highest performance and reliability standards ever. These all new designs feature illuminated digital counters, unbeatable pulling power, plastic rod holders, and a clutch brake with the largest braking surface in the industry allowing for ultra fast speeds.
