Re: Downrigger weights. What to use?
Bicey offers some GREAT advice here..... be sure to check the manufacturers suggested limitations!! They are not all the same!
It will depend on where and what your using them for. If in the ocean for bass, I would say 10lbs is about right, but you can go higher, depending.
The currents will make the difference more so than the depths. You can go 80' in water with minimal currents, but not get 30' in water with mad current down below.
There are so many things you can now do. From sending down a little swimmer, to hanging the big stuff down deep. Do some research and check it out. Downriggers are a great item to have!!! They work on striped bass, just as good as tuna, mahi mahi and wahoo!!!!
