Traxtech Ball Retriever

[cuz]

Does anyone use/know if the Traxstech Ball Retriever will work with Scotty 1116 downriggers? My concern is whether or not there is enough clearance for the stopper beads to fit through.  Thanks in advance.

they are the best you're going to find and they have more clearance than any others I've seen. I use them on my cannon riggers and the beads do get hung up at times. if I was still using the stops on mine I would try to use a end roller for a cannon rigger rigged in a way to retrieve my cable and still let the bead go through smoothly. but this is just 1 person's opinion.

I use Scotty downriggers, I just swing the boom up to get the weight closer to the boat..
