you dont have to buy a down rigger,
you can pick up a 1-5 pound cannon ball fiarly cheep just about any where. and get a peice of steel cable to hook it to and drop it over the back of the boat.
when drifting for eyes you are going to drift down river so you realy dont need a down rigger to get down to them, depending on the wind half ounce to an ounce sinker works fine. that will get you down.
you just want to make sure when you are drifting down river that you line is drifting up river from the boat. "behind the drift"
