I have 4 Captain pack Big Jon downriggers and I haven't had any problems. I used my Grandpa's manual Riviera's for a season before I got the big jons. They worked flawless. They were as fast as you could crank and never had any electrical issues. They were over 20 yrs old!
Hey, Supertramp, sorry that I didn't get around to go fishing with you in St Joe. I hope all is going well, and I hope to meet up with you some time this season.
I miss being out at boat yard basin. I sure hope to get her ready for the spring. I have started to get her ready/repaired now. Good hearing from you Unreel. Greg
