New downrigger at Deer Creek

[Tannersgrandpaw]

We bought a Cannon Easi troll manual. First we let our line out about 40 to 60 ft. Then hooked up our first line to the Quick release, (still need some practice getting the proper release pressures), with the rod in its holder I loosened the drag so the line fed out easily, then lowered the ball down 10 or 11 ft. then we hooked up the other quick release and lowered the ball to about 35 to 40 ft. Then I re-adjusted the drag and tighened th line so the rod had a good bend in it. I suppose an electric downrigger would be a bit easier, but I found the ball was so easy to raise and lower, that even this weak old man could do it easily. Besides, the difference in cost, we can buy more dodgers and lures from Jared and Sportsmans!![]
