I looked into it and the origonal cable is #100 pounds while the new one is #150. I added and extra zero by mistake. And I told my dad that the riggers where made for lakes. But they where cheaper and we would of had to either weld or screw in metal plates into our 14' aluminum boats's sides to make a mount for a larger downrigger. The mini-troll has clamps instead of mounts. Oh and we now run a 6 pound ball with 175' of cable off the one we had to replace the cable.
