Down Rigger Recommendation

I'm thinking of purchasing down riggers for my 21' Mako CC for next year. We do a lot of trolling and can never get the bait right where we want it.

I be interested in receiving any recommendations, experiences (good/bad).

Are there good one and are there bad ones.

Do any come with a "years worth of striped bass"?

Enjoying Life !

Are you interested in buying used ones.
I have two manual cannons with low hours.
they work really well.
Come with releases and drails.
I think they have 200 ft of wire.
Only used in fresh water.

I can't remember too much about them,, but
I could give you details if you are at all interested.

Van,

I still haven't decided whether downriggers are the way to go.
I fish single handed a lot and have been told its difficult w/d'riggers.

I got till spring now to make up my mind and come up with the $.

Thanks and I'll keep it in mind

Enjoying Life !
