Tie you anchor line into your bow eye,before or when launching the boat. Tie another rope on to your anchor line with an eye in it so it slides on the anchor line & long enough reach your cockpit/deck area when anchored. When you want to anchor let all the rope out. When you want to move use the slider rope to pull the anchor line to you while moving forward & off to the side of the anchor line. coil the rope on the deck or in a 5 gal pail. Try it, It works. jmo.

No luck with Shimano, they only warranty for a yr. & this rod is older.

Live in Buffalo area. I just e-mailed Shimano to see if they can do anything, I'll wait to see. Gator, Do you have one for sure? Thanks

Looking for the bottom 1/2 (butt end) of a Shimano Triton Down rigger rod ; TDR-1802; 8ft. rod ; line = 8- 17 # ; medium action. Mine broke just below where the upper 1/2 slides into the lower 1/2. I know these are old rods but thought someone might have one laying around. Thanks

For the price they get for them, aren't they warranted for life ??

X2- They will be submersed not just going down a wet rd. I would go with disc brakes for best results. Electric & water don't mix. ever!

I don't think any of the fish are over 30yrs. old so as far as they know the lures are new ! jmo, lol

Do you hook your rigger ball right to the watch band?? lol

According to the DEC fish report the Barcelona fish are in 55 -70 fow ,30 ft down. getting them on harnesses & stick baits. Good Luck!

You are correct 100%. Their manual S*@Ks big time . It does not tell you how to do or set anything, (ie. as for the time it says this unit will show time,) it does not tell how to set the time . It does the same for everything! And then the dam thing shuts itself off by its self for no reason, so far it is great when it works but I am never sure if it will. Every time I put it on its like what will work & not work this time ??

You are 100% right . I have a elite 7 HDI (the 4th one) and am still having problems with this one! One would think after spending $800-900 bucks the dam thing would work!!

There is a " 4 Mile creek" state camp grd. 4 miles east of the Niag. river.

What did you buy for a boat ? Also I think I finally got a good Elite 7 HDI after 4 diff. ones. The latest one seems to be woking fine so for, it worked great all day on Fri. PM sent.

Try installing 4 in a row , thats like having all your teeth pulled at once! lol. Anyway my newest "7" worked great all day,today they are nice when they work. With any luck it will keep working. I always had Lowrance too starting with the paper graph & just replaced my LMS 350 A with this elite 7. Fingers crossed!
