Product Review

We won't leave the dock without this handy item. We love using a downrigger, but hate the bulk, so we now use this kit. Works the same, yet is easier to deploy, doesn't require as much attention and makes storage so easy. More effective for high speed deep trolling than a downrigger, yet works just like a downrigger, allowing you to fight fish without the bulk and weight of a planer. Attaches to a stern cleat and runs off its own line. Simply attach a double-ended swivel (included) to the planer line, wrap a rubber band around your fishing line, lock the rubber band in the snap swivel and let go. Your lure will run down the planer line, pulling your bait deep. When you get a strike, the line from the rod separates from the planer allowing you to fight the fish freely. Unlike conventional downriggers, you don't have to retrieve each time you hook a fish, simply attach another double-ended swivel and rubber band and send your line back down. Planer line is 300lb. test mono, 36' length attached to a polypropylene rope to cleat off the planer. Heavy duty braced planer, line, snaps and rubber bands included. Also includes instructions and handy storage bag.
