Singing downrigger

[Bduck]

I just go with the singing wire. With the underwater terrain we have in our lakes, I'm very skeptic about using braid with possibility of it rubbing against something which would fray the line. My style of auto stop requires a crimp on both ends (4" spread) of the barrel magnets creating 2 weak spots on each DR. Bob is right about the ion control. But, if you never had an issue with a HOT boat, there is no worry about using braid is this respect.
