its hard to beat a down rigger for that depth, but it can be done, and I do it, the draw back to my method is I have to troll as much slower speeds. and wind drifts can cause me to move faster than I want to go causing me to have to use a wind sock.
the problem with trolling with out a down rigger is that you get water resistance wich causes a bow in the line, and often it can cause fowl sets. so speed is crittical when trolling at that depth with out a rigger.
I use a heavier sinker, along with a cow bell "dipsy diver" 4-5 foot lead off of that.
Dare Devil spoons are made in only one factory in the whole world, Dearborn Michigan.
it is still a family owned company.
there are all size spoons that are used on every thing from gills up to pike and salmon in the great lake state of michigan.
