If you're really interested in downriggers, google "Using downriggers". There is a ton of great information out there on all the details you'd ever want to know. Youtube has videos, Big Jon and other manufacturers have great tutorials.
With that being said, I have Scotty electric downriggers on my boat and they never get used. Guess I prefer a jig and a bow mounted electric to trolling but if the wind comes up or I'm kokanee fishing I'll use the downriggers. They're just another gun in your arsenal.
