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

while on this subject, what do yall think is the max ourigger length that can be run on a v? I was planning to make some outrigger that attach to the side of the arch and swing down and out like the big boats.

i used to fish with a guy who never used clips on his outriggers, he used big rubber bands, swore by them. we were king fishing with flat line cigar minnows . i don't think it would work on a big kona head.
