MY2SONS Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Anyone use the Z-Wing downrigger system rather than lead DR weights. Seems like a good concept, but want to hear feedback from those who may have used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Line Dancin Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Looks interesting but i have tried interesting before and threw it in the garbage. Mybe when i can actually see it work i will believe what they claim it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Problem is, they are designed to work at much higher speeds than we are used to. I had a buddy that was interesed in these last year. After talking to a few others that had used them, he decided against them.Even on their website it states they dont start to work properly until you are over 3kts. I think they are more designed for Ocean trolling at higher speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1mainiac Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I have considered them for my fall Steelhead program just not sure if they would work any better than 15lb balls as far as blowback when going fast. One setup I have heard guys doing is using a ball below them and using them to widen their outside riggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
