Downrigger Fishing

[waterdog101]

Last weekend while salmon fishing, they used a rubber band instead of the clips for the down rods. Basically the wrapped the rubber band around the line and then hooked it to a clip on the ball. This worked much better than the clips, according to the guys.

I don't know. I've been on charters that used both.

hey man, thanks for the info. this is new to me, but I'll get it. now I guess I'm a little slow on some things, I don't see the picture your showing me with the rubber bands. are you saying instead of putting the fishing line in a release clip at the ball, wrap a rubber band around the fishing line and clip it instead of the line.
