doug- thank you very much. I would really appreciate it. I am just trying to get started with DRs and although I have been fishing salmon all my life, I have never tried them. I dont really want to bust out 300+ for a new DR so this solution is very beneficial for me. Thank you.

I only need one. I looked at the other downrigger he gave me and it is something called an Intruder. It looks pretty old but still works. I have no idea what the base would look like for this one but someone on here might know what it is.
