Downrigger review
Although I haven’t been able to actually use it yet I can give my first impression review I guess. For me it was a toss up between this downrigger and the Cisco. I liked the port and starboard option you offered and I think the motor is superior to any downrigger out there. I believe magnum metalz design is better as the motor sits behind the mounting point which helps distribute the weight better. The option of adding extra length to the boom later if needed or wanted is nice too. The only thing I was a little disappointed in was the rod holders and it’s more of an aesthetics thing than anything else, the tubs are thin and compared to my Cisco rod holders they look cheap. Now I know there is nothing wrong with them and they are far better and stronger then any plastic holder but it would be nice if there wasn’t such a difference between the magnums and Cisco.
