Daiwa Interline Downriggin Rods

Ive got a couple and they work great for planerboard fishing as mentioned above . They are a big pain to let the line out during flea season.

One thing to be cautious of is when you break them down. Don't tighten the line to the point where it wears against the egde of the insert. It will cause your line to fray. As pointed out by many, fleas can be a seasonal problem, but its nice not worrying about planer tow lines in chopping conditions. They have a place on my boat, just have to know your limits (like anything else)

Rick I used them on Steve's boat and thought they were great never had any problems with them as far as lines breakage/fraying/wearing . Wasn't out during "flea" season.

Well, first off thanks for the responses! I think I am going to try 3 of them on my riggers. Currently I run a line called McCoy Mean Green. Last year during peak flea times I would bring up my wires and have a foot or so on them and then the rigger rod with McCoy would come up and there would be an inch here and maybe an inch there. Jax, on the board, can vouch for that. So, with that in mind I guess Im gonna give them a shot.

Rick what # test was the McCoy? I remeber Jeremy telling me about that when I was out with him? Can you get it locally?

Thanks
