[#0000FF]Sorry to burst your enthusiasm bubble, but that is not so much a true "downrigger" as just an added weight on your line. A downrigger is an independent weight to which your line is clipped...and will release when a fish hits it. With that setup you will continue to fight the heavy weight as well as the fish all the way back in.
A much better alternative is something like a Dipsy Diver or a crescent sinker.
I know you are new to Utah fishing, but what species and what waters do you anticipate using that device? Unless you are fishing late summer kokanees at Strawberry or Flaming Gorge I cannot think of many potential applications.
