Well, first off, I agree with those that said you don't need anything special for trolling with a down rigger - your set-up(what ever it is, should work). That said, remember to match your rig or set-up to the species you are after. A down rigger changes none of that. When your rigger releases upon a strike from a fish, your set-up takes it from there - that's why you match your set-up to the fish species rather than the down rigger. But realistically, if you play them right ,just about any set-up can work for any fish(within reason).
In short, you should be just fine with whatever you have now(unless you currently fish with 1 lb test line). Of course, a person can't have too much fishing stuff, so it's OK to go ahead and get more if you want.
