The wind was blowing when I was there so I didn't test out the reports, but plan to soon.

it worked good for us,I've converted several other boats to that set up with no complaints. how do those riggers work out on the v, was thinking about putting some on mine, right now I've got three down riggers in the shed, would use them in Moultie if there were any stripers, but no one is catching any. No one around here uses downriggers offshore

These Rigger Bases are by a company called SOS ... they're reel nice ones with good operation ... the poles are about the cheapest I could find and work good, too ...the "heart" of the system, though are the release clips ... I used the Goldfinger clips cause of the adjustability ... quick, easy and very precise ... don't get to use the riggers a lot, but they've performed great on all the kings we've been able to get on... ;) ...

last report before I left the marina, five sails released, no marlin, big dolphin was 31( two weeks ago it was 56), no tuna, 39 wahoo, half the fleet didn't fish today because of that front that rolled thru last night. There was some high dollar hardware on the dock today, I'll get some pics tomorrow at the weigh in
