Well this probable isnt much help.I have fished with a digi-troll IV,but we were fishing for kokes.So I didnt get to see how it tracks the bottom in action.It was very user friendly,was nice to enter a pre-set depth then send it down and knowing it would stop where i wanted it too. This made it easier on the fisherman,but didnt help to catch any more fish then a manual downrigger would.
I fish with two mini -mag electric downriggers,and because of the price I sure dont see me up grading to a digi-troll any time in the near furture.I actually think that because they can track the bottom,this just means more work for the guy using it.Always having to tighten or loosen the fishing line ,as the weight moves up and down following the bottom structure.IMO a guy that is using a manual or a smaller electric ,can be just a sucessful.As long as he knows where his downrigger weight is ,and is watching his fish finder
