down rigger ?

[NO MO BEGGEN]

on a big jon rigger if it has a 2ft. arm do they measure from the front of the cable spool to the tip or back towards the bend of the arm. and can you buy arm exstensions for them to make it longer

I beleive they are measured from the center of the pulley to where the line drops down to the ball. All of the Captain packs have boom extensions that can be added or removed most the other ones are capable of having boom extensions added. Big Jon would be able to give you exact info and can set you up with the correct parts all in one phone call.

As long as the rod is threaded into the block in front of the spool you can add an extension. I added one to one of the manual riggers I used to have. I think the rod and union cost about $25 from Big Jon.
