I have a rare three day sickness I can feel coming on!!It is gonna hit this mon-thru wednesday!!! I can feel the "sore arm syndrome" setting in already Tight lines everyone.

I just bought some scotty 1083 strongarm manual downrigger from cabela's on sale with free ball and release with 5 dollar shipping promo for 170ish shipped.They too have the tip up feature and lock up and out of the way.I am new to downriggers so I have nothing to compare against but I think they are easy enough to use,counters are still working .I got them a few weeks ago hopefully they still have the sale,many other choices to choose from also.I liked the scotty's mostly because the booms were stainless and seemed more heavier dty than others.Hope this helps

Thank you Rayand blueEye.I will be coming up soon for some stream fishing on sat. and if all goes well some lake fishing sat. afternoon and sundayand we'll you know till the money runs out This is a very cool site with LOT'S of good info for us newbies for sure.I have already a full page of ideas to try.
