Hey everyone.

Got a boat and a downrigger to use this summer and have a couple questions.  Never really trolled much before and am looking for some advise on the size ball to buy.  I plan on trolling for lakers on various adirondack lakes and am wondering what size to buy.  Going to be trolling from a 21 foot pontoon with a 25 horse 2 stroke.  Also have a 56lb thrust trolling motor.  The downrigger is a manual cannon sport.  Didn't come with a ball or anything else, so I have some gear to buy.  Any recommendations?

maineduckhunter:
You do have a depth/fish finder right?

Santo180:
yeah will have a depth finder

WildOutdoorAddict:
an  8 lb ball should work fine for you, What about release is there one one the rigger?

Santo180:
No releases either.
