Downrigger Configuration
#11
I agree with what others have said. Remove the two rod holders and replace with the new downriggers. My Cannons have rod holders attached right to the downrigger, so you really don't need the extra rod holders. I angle my rear down riggers just slightly off the sides and I angle my side mounted downrigger at 90degrees to my boat sides. I only use 12 lb. pancake weights which allows the weights to track pretty much straight down from the rigger without much swing back. I'm still puzzled why people use the lighter weights that swing back when you are trolling. Unless you angle your transducer to shoot backward, its difficult to see your weights on the sonar. Seeing the weights on the sonar is VERY important to me at Bear Lake and Flaming Gorge where I routinely troll with the weights in close proximity to the bottom. If I can't see the weights in relation to the bottom, you can easily snag a weight and lose it. Pretty expensive!
