Mr Sandman I bought a Scotty downrigger a few years ago and find it very good for bass on deep drop offs the only draw back I found was the lead weights rolling around the deck. I think I may have found the answer to that in cabela's saltwater catalog. Its call the Z-Wing and takes the place of the heavy weights. I am going to pick one up for this season and give it a try. They come in two sizes one for fast trolling and the other slow. Here is the web site zwingdownrigger.com check it out. And yes Clammer TROLLING I find that Jane will let me fish while out for a ride so long as its trolling.
