This product is Unbelievable!!!!!! The cost is awesome , quality top notch, machining excellent, and motor superb.
The MZ-1500 Single Rod Holder Downrigger.
This downrigger has a single, over the spool rod holder. The slimmest in our line of downriggers with a rod holder at only 7" wide & 11" tall. This rigger has the same motor, upgrades and options as all Magnum Metalz downriggers and offers all the same features. Built tough for everyday use from stainless steel & anodized aluminum. Capable of lifting 25 lb weights in both motor speeds day in and day out gives you the deep water advantage. Comes equipped with a powerful 12 volt motor with IP66 water protection, tinned power cable for years of worry free use and a liquid smooth clutch which eliminates need for auto stop. This rigger also offers the through center wiring for clean, professional mounting and a minimal 3" x 3" mounting plate with the small boater in mind. If you will be using long booms and will be constantly lifting the boom to attach your line you might consider the MZ-1500S or P. These single rod holder riggers offer the rod holder set Port or Starboard so rod is out of the way when lifting the boom.
The Downrigger comes Equipped as follows:
Like all Magnum Metalz products, Designed for the small boater, Built for a charter.

Just an update, 13 months later. Downrigger working perfectly, as I expected. Will be purchasing another one this spring. Customer service is "old school" just like it should be. 5 star plus rating.
Have not had a chance to use it yet.....but the quality is 2nd to none. Customer service is great, very helpful if needed. It's built to last and I chose it over the 2 HUGE COMPANIES that appear to have a lock on the market. I have owned 2 different down riggers from the above mentioned group, this down rigger blows them away as far as build quality and tolerances. Will report back in the spring when I have used it.
I wish I had a little time on the water with these riggers to give a full review. If they perform as well as they look, it will be five stars. They are going to give my Carolina Classic a very polished look. I can’t wait to see what the stantions look like.
