Scotty Electric Downriggers – a primer
Every time the term “downrigger” comes to mind, I think of Scott Plastics. An innovator of the sports fishing industry and manufacturer of quality products, Scotty has helped fishermen all over the world make fishing easier and more enjoyable.

1. Personal comfort and accessibility to rods and release clips. Awkward downrigger placement can contribute to losing fish, by making it harder to check gear, reach rods, or noticing bites.

2.Personal safety needs to be looked at as well. Reaching over the side of the boat can be very hazardous during rough conditions. The easier and safer things are the more productive you’ll be as a fisherman.

3.Bending and straining in awkward positions can not only increase the chance of throwing your back out, but aggravate previous injuries.

4.Utilizing gunnel space, so downriggers can be stored while playing a fish or while at the dock.

5.What size arms do you need on your downrigger, would a telescoping arm be beneficial? The longer the arms, the farther forward on the gunnels you can mount your down riggers and not be as concerned about lines tangling in the prop, or back of boat.

No: 1114 & 1116 Propack

The Propack is a total downrigger system, which comes with every possible option. Telescoping stainless steel booms from 30-60 inches, 2 rod holders, 16 position swivel mount, 150 pound test wire, power grip line releases. With the lowest amperage electric motor of any electric downrigger, only drawing between 5 and 12 amps, this powerful system can pull 20 pounds at 185 feet/min, or 7 pounds at 235 feet/min.

All of Scotty’s downriggers and accessories are made with high quality materials, such as stainless steel, and UV treated plastics, which keep up to the rigors of any hard conditions. Just to back up their quality commitment, Scotty includes a lifetime warrantee. The Propack is a total system which gives fishermen the option for one stop shopping and the comfort of knowing they have everything needed to outfit the boat.

When making the decision of which product is best for you, it is important to look at how you want to rig your boat to make your fishing-life easy and safe. Downrigger placement is one of the most important things to consider, for various reasons.
