Thinking about adding a downrigger or 2 for Striper and Tuna fishing. Striper fishing I troll at 1.5-2 kts and Tuna I troll at 5-6 kts. Looking to get down 50 feet. What would be a good unit to use and do the rod holder mounts work ok. I dont want to mount hardware to my deck. Also I would not mind the option to transport to another boat.

What weight should I use. Has anybody used a downwiger for drifting live bait in place of a 3 way or fishfinder rig?
