WHAT DOWNRIGGER IS THIS

[bout time]

a friend at camp just purchased this downrigger at a garage sale. it did not come with a base. we are trying to figure out what it is / who made it. it is all aluminum constructiona nd built like a tank. its is a 12v electric which works great.  It appears to have a "power window" motor on it which i know was typical of Proos. there are no markings at all anywhere on it. The bottom has a spring loaded pull pin that would lock it into the base. The whole is 1" in diameter. any clue????

My guess would be a Big Jon.

Old Invader be my guess

Not sure but looks like it might have belonged to Fred Flintstone

Could very well be homemade.

My guess would be an old big jon or an old invader

Invader they always look homemade you can tell by the line counter . Big Jon has not changed that much the early ones had aluminum spools not plastic my friend still runs a pair .

Invader....  Hope you don't need parts.  Although you can get a phone # and an address for Invader, I tried for a month to reach someone, to no avail.  If you fall in love with this rigger, I have two electrics I will sell to you reasonably
