LZ,

You'll have a tough go reaching 100' w/o the aid of a down rigger. It is possible though...

Like Easy mentions- allow for your budget. One the other hand, might want to save up for electrics... This becomes especially handy when you are by yourself or when trolling deeper than 150'. It is hard to concentrate on fighting a fish and winding that ball up.. Electrics are the way to go...

Downriggin'
