Thanks for the video. I'm looking into getting a pedal kayak next year. This was very informative and I like the way you put it all together for someone new to kayak fishing.

Great video! Really appreciate you breaking it down for we newbs. I've been hmm'ing and hawing about a downrigger for my pedal yak ... don't like the idea of not having a line counter but never thought of using the line counter reel. Duh! lol Tight lines!

Thank you for sharing. I’ve tried using my downrigger on the SF coast for salmon. Let’s just say I had a mess on my hands. Thanks for showing the basics. I think I’ll have it down next time I go out!

That was a very educational video. Enjoy the view and nice to see you actually caught one.😁😆

Good video. I am switching to all 80-100# braided line for my kayak rigger setup. I have been running a downrigger from both a kayak and canoe for many years, recently becoming concerned about the danger of getting the ball hung up on the bottom in rough conditions, or in the event of flipping, getting tangled in that cable. I might lose a ball or two but it's a small price to pay.

Nice tutorial, thank you for the video!

awesome video! thanks for sharing your experiences

Very informative. Thank you. I am a kayak fisherman on the Great lakes fishing for very large king salmon. Everything in your video makes sense. However, there is no way in God's green earth that I would be stacking to go after King's salmon. Those lines would get tangled like nobody's business.

Can you show how you installed it on your rail I’m skeptical about the weight on my rail. I didn’t understand how you did it. Thanks man for the info!

[mtnguyen]

Can you share the rod and reel specs .. very easy to understand info. thanks.

[miamiwax]

can u always see the ball on your depth finder so you know what depth u are at?

[ryanrogers]

I might have missed it but how much weight is your downrigger weight

[Dragonlord]

is there a mini track mount kayak downrigger? I don't have any room on my kayaks to screw down the downrigger. thanks!

[garypeters]

Have the same set up but with the scotty downrigger, like the one you have but can't seem to find it, where you get it and where you get your downrigger wight

[jasonkazakoff]

how did you attach the dowrigger to your kayak

[masonditmars]

How long of a rod would you use for that size downrigger?

Fish cant digest corn. It can plug them up
