clamp on downrigger crate??

 I just got a clamp style mini downrigger,and on my cuda the only place i can clamp is on my crate.Has anyone tried this and was it effective?Also is a 4lb weight correct?

I think alshobie run or ran one that way. You may want to pm him

I run a Cannon on a create. This is my set-up on my Malibu 2XL (2 seater). It works great! I'll try and find the pics I have.

Hey mike, id Make sure your crate is secure for when you may potentially drag bottom or have some other mis hap

 

  YES, or at least install a leash to it!

.... or one hell of a pool noodle

If you are running a Scotty Lake Troller, you can get a conversion kit from Scotty to convert it from a clamp mount to the standard post that will go into any Scotty mount.  I did that with both of my Lake Trollers.  I believe they are about $8.00 plus shipping from Scotty.  As far as I know they are the only ones you can get them from.

Thats great info, thanks!  I had two of the clamp mounts that i wanted to make into post mount ones. I called scotty and they said that they would send them to me..they said at no cost but I'll see.  I didn't give them my credit card info or anything.

Glad to be of some help.  I have called Scotty multiple times.  They are very friendly and helpful.

Thanks guys my crate is strapped and the rigger is leashed.This is an old big Jon eventually I'm gonna got to the Scotty set up but this was gifted/loaned from another brother.Think I could get away with 2-3 pound ball as I'm only gonna be running ultra light koke/trout gear?If anyone of you is running braid what lb test should I look at?
