I recently got two downriggers electric 30” Scotty’s off of Kijiji I have tried them for lake trout and Kokanee but have yet to catch anything but small whitefish that don’t even pop the line release so I don’t even know they are on. The riggers came with 15lb balls I am just trying to figure out all the different clips releases and gizmos. I see for Kokanee guys are using a lead pipe for a downrigger weight. I couldn’t catch anything or even see a hit until I put away the downriggers and long lines with 2oz wieghts. Same lure as I was running on the riggers so I am thinking maybe the ball scarred the fish??
