Singing Downriggers
wormwigglr:
does anyone know of anything that will stop the wire on the downriggers from singing? i'm sure someone has came up with a rig to prevent it if they do not sell one. any help would be appreciated.
Hood:
never tried it but maybe a shock absorber like the ones for tennis raquets...
bigredfishing:
when you get the ball at the right depth, tie a rubber band around the wire...should work right? Same idea as the bow string silencer. its just a theory though, give it a shot, rubber bands are fairly inexpensive.
wormwigglr:
thanks red, i was thinking along the same lines but didn't want to try it till i heard someone else second it. i know people like to make them sing when trolling for eyes but it seems like it would be something to scare the fish since sound travels better in water.
Hilltopper:
Agree with Mac. Might be somewhat annoying to the fisherman but, IMO, not the fish.
