WTB an old-style Big Jon Electric Down-rigger - Trying to make the jump from manual down-riggers to an electric down-rigger.  Looking for small low-profile rigger like a Big Jon.  Going to start with one for now as am not sure about my charging systems from my motor.  Don’t mind if it is the old-style low torque motor.  Just the fact of having an electric unit and not getting a sore arm during the summer will be a plus.  Thank you.

I cranked those manual riggers for over 35 yrs. but I was watching ebay when these 2 suppliers got in a price war per say. I picked up one new pro tournament riggers for 525.00 then I contacted the other one and he let me have one for the same price. but I ended up with getting four of them for that price. but 4 with 6 lite bite slide divers was just to much work. so I sold 2 of them. the only regret was that I hadn't bought electric riggers much sooner. I fish the central basin for eyes. the electric riggers saves my old broken down body.

no more than riggers are used while fishing they should not effect the battery at all if your running your main motor. I use 2 big jon pro tournament riggers I use on erie and never even noticed and change in my battery.
