[QUOTE="Downrigger, post: 176588, member: 201"] - What size weight ball would be the best to use? -Kinda worried about snagging the weight on something and taking off the side of my boat.lol .. any tips? -What kind of release/clips are most user friendly? -Has anyone had success using downrigger for walleyes? -What kind of baits/lure typically use ? I run Cannon manual downriggers 1) I run 12 lb balls for salmon. I like to know I don't have a lot of drift going on. 2) Set your drag so if you do happen to hit bottom the spool releases 3) Scotty Releases 4) Lots of success for walleyes on Sak and Devils. Use it to pull shallow diving cranks in 20-30 ft of water without leadcore. On Sak I pull cranks through the schools of baitfish on the sharp breaks. Good way to catch some good sized fish. 5) I use basically squid baits behind flashers. When I use cranks I use braid but for the salmon I'm running mono to help keep the line in the clips. [/QUOTE]
