Good idea Skunk. Next year i plan to do some trolling for wahoo and tuna. I have never had outriggers on my boats. I often wonder if they would help. I will give that a try. Do you lose alot of fish avter the clip releases? I have heard that is the biggest downfall of outriggers.

Yep, thats a good idea! Years ago while surf fishing at Oregon Inlet an old guy came out with a 12 ft. surf rod attached to a piece of PVC pipe about 10ft. long. It looked a little tricky to cast but he whipped his bottom rig out there what looked like a mile! Made me look pitiful!

Seachoice makes an affordable outrigger kit. They can be bought new for around $125.00.
For occasional trolling they seem to be the right choice. I was going to put them on my boat as I only troll few times a year.

Be careful buying cheap fiberglass riggers,make sure you adjust your release clips right because you will fold em in half . Roller trollers are the best clips I've ever used. I have a pair of fiberglass outriggers for free if someone wants them. I have aftco 14 filters going on my v20 and 18 footers on the albemarle
