It happend, it really did. I actually lost a downrigger off my boat. Ugh. I thought the safety chains were overkill, so I ditched them a while back, but sadly one poorly fastened downrigger is now at the bottom of the Sound. the worst of it was limping through a decent bite with a single downrigger. My fishing buddy did introduce me to my first 'pink lady' caught silver, so that was cool. I checked the BB classifieds for a Penn 625 downrigger, but did not see one there. Any ideas on a replacement resource, short of paying retail?

Thanks in advance,

Jon
