I have tried the salmon run every year for the last 4 years, I caught 2 my entire 4 years. I went yesterday and I caught 4 Kokanee salmon and 3 steelheads. You changed my game brother💪💪💪

*Was very surprised at the sensitivity of this rod **enjoyable.fishing** recommend Was very impressed. And the extendable handle really lets you get a great casting action.*

Good job! Best straight forward downrigger instruction video I've found so far. You've explained the process well.
Regards,

I purchased a boat and big water equipment from a buddy a few years ago and have he has been to busy to take me out and show me how to use this equipment. I’m very happy and thankful for your video and how thorough it is since I have never done this type of fishing. I am super excited to hopefully give it a go this weekend. Thank you.

The best video on using a downrigger that I've seen!

[ChrisWilliamsLS]

I have never seen a downrigger before. Thank so much for this lesson.

[brendenherrmann]

Awesome video, I went out on Lake Huron with downriggers for the first time yesterday morning after watching your video and I caught 2 steelhead an a walleye. Your video helped a lot!

[kyledavey]

i appreciate the instructive video, i dont have aa boat of any kind but remembered family way back talking about downriggers now i have the knowledge to do so if the situation arises

[johnpatriot]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep doing what you’re doing. There will ALWAYS be negative people commenting but they are the ones that will never do anything great.

Really like the action and feel of this fishing rod. Feels well built and expects it to last a long time.

[Hungry_Tree_Ghost]

Awesome 👍 as far as people complaining about the music - my first thought was what music. I had to skip back a little to hear what they were talking about. I must've been paying too much attention to you giving excellent advice for me to even notice. Those types of people probably walk around with RBF all day.

[meetoo]

Great straight forward video!! Well done. One suggestion, scrap the background music or make it much lower. Was distracting.

[FaithisKey]

One word, sick!
You just made my day, thank you. Need two clips now. Waiting on the down rigger to arrive.

Have a blessed day.

[jasonmyers]

Thank you so who thumbs down such a helpful informative video. Much appreciated!

[bobcorrigan]

I am just learing to fish with a down rigger and the information on this film is going to be invaluable this spring fishing for walleye and salmon thank you bob

[panikosantoniou]

Great video. I am a beginner with downrigger fishing, and I get some very important information. Many thanks.

[chrisclark]

Outstanding explanation of downriggers with additional practice advice for a true neophyte, like me. Thanks.

[stevehenry]

YES this will be my first year fishing Superior, thank you for the info!!

[shellyholland]

Thanks I love the lure advice and I’ve never done more than one line on a downrigger, but I’m gonna try it next weekend!

[philipross]

The background music is driving me nuts!
