braided line for downriggers

[bkidder]

bodine is exactly right. the mini mags dont have the short stop feature that your mag 10's have. id stick with steel line on the mag 10 jim... unless you dont mind holding the switch in. if the wire hum bugs you that much you can use a bungy cord to muffle the vibration. keep in mind though that experts have never made a connection between wire hum and fishing success. in my experience i agree with the experts- it doesnt make a bit of difference... but it can be annoying, so i sometimes use a bungy cord to lessen the hum. just hook a short bungy to the base of your rigger, then run it out and around the wire, and then hook it back to the base of your rigger... making sure its tight. this makes a big difference.

im sure youre planning on using your downriggers so much this year that you will make all kinds of adjustments and changes![laugh] nice thing about jigs- they are so much simpler to use and maintain!
