Manual

In the early years of downrigger fishing, the "Big Water Manual" established itself as a standard for downriggers that were to be fished straight back behind the transom. Loaded with handy features, the Big Water Manual has as standard equipment: a single rod holder mounted to the 20 inch flexible boom, and a Big Jon line release. The large, 8 inch reel makes retrieving the cannonball fast and easy. The bright Silver finish will make your boat shine.
