What Downrigger Weight to use for Trolling?

Downrigger weights are often overlooked. In this video we discuss the various styles and weights we use throughout the season on our Lake Ontario charter boat, the Yankee Troller. Our choices are driven by time of year, how deep we are fishing, and target species.

Perhaps you would make a video of the rigging that comes off the ball including the line to the clip and how you rig the Fish Hawk to the whole contraption.

I'll work on that

Captain Richard do you spray paint your downrigger balls? Is plain lead an option or do you colour them Black?

[@CrazyYankeeSF]

@@jamesathendune9026 honestly, it's something I don't even think about. Thinking about it now I've got some that are lead colored and others that are black.

I'd love to know what sonar you like to use to watch your down riggers while trolling??

@@TimberRidgerenovation brand of fish finder doesn't matter. You want an Airmar 600w 50/200khz transducer paired with your fish finder. (Models like Airmar's P66, B60, B45, B744)
