What weight are you using with your downrigger? I probably won't be running deeper than 60 feet. |

I think mine is 3-lb, your basic round ball with minimum fins. I have used it down to 120-ft. |

I use the 4# that comes with this one, been fine to 100# at slow (kokanee) trolling speeds: http://www.cabelas.com/product/ATTWOOD- ... lsrc=aw.ds been using these for 4 years now and very happy with them, I do re-spool with 80# braid to eliminate the wire humming noise... |

Thank you all for your replies. I ended up with a 4# weight because that was what BP had. The next size they had was 10#. |

I have 4, 6, and 8lb weights. I use the 4lb weight 99% of the time with no issues. I re-strung the downrigger with braid, really helped on the blow-back. Deeper than 50 feet I prefer the 6lb ball, but the 4 does work fine. |

Dr. SteelheadCatcher, you got me curious. My Bass Pro “Four pound weight” weighed in at 3.86 pounds. |
