These two Cannon downriggers are complete with the mounting bases and wire cable and are in excellent condition. They both have the optional double rod holders which run $80 each when new. Included in this package are four Daiwa Regal Strike SK786 rods which are 8-1/2 feet medium action trolling rods, two Daiwa Sealine S175H reels, three Daiwa Sealine 47SH reels, three Cannon downrigger balls and two Riviera torpedo weights. If you figure $300 each for the downriggers/rod holders, $100 each for rod/reel combos, $40 each for the downrigger weights, you're looking at $1200. You can buy this package for a LOT less with no tax and no shipping charges. I would prefer not to split this package up but if you have interest in only some of the pieces feel free to make an offer. 315-382-6200 call or text

Bassin Bob, you're not alone, as some of the other posters pointed out. I am a casual salmon/trout fisherman, have a couple Canon downriggers on my boat and a couple tackle boxes full of flashers/flies, spoons etc. that I inherited, picked up at garage sales, or bought on sale at Gander Mountain. I know how to get my lures in the water, run at different depths, speeds, etc, but I also suck at catching fish. Last weekend we camped at Wescott Beach State park and I took two buddies out about 10 miles to 150 FOW where the fish were supposed to be. Trolled about 4 hours and got zippo. Went to the dock in Henderson Harbor to refuel and there was a charter boat there unloading their haul of 8 lakers and 4 salmon that they caught. I asked the captain where they were, how deep, what they were using, how fast were they trolling, and all that stuff, and I was doing everything he was except catching fish! My friend and neighbor Captain Chris Yard runs Irish Knots Sportfishing and I think I am just gonna give him the money and go out with him; he has been having an incredible year. Anyway, good luck and good fishing!
