I use a down rigger on my toon anywhere from 10' to 135'. The weight can get hooked on the bottom, but I have never lost one yet. For the toon you only need around a 4-6lb weight. I use a little larger down rigger than the one mentioned here, but only because I swap it from the boat to the toon and it also has the line counter on it so I know exactly what depth it is. The toon works great for kokes since the electric trolling motor easily will do the 1-1.4mph that is needed for them. I mounted mine off to the left side and then I can still flat line with another rod on the right or the back.
