Downrigers are like dicks, once you figure out what they are for and how to use one you can't live without one.

Yup, I have several Old Salty planers, 2 for my downriggers, and like them. I had to upgrade to Scotty Electrics due to the increased pull but I've wanted electrics for years.
Fred,
I've been trying for several years to get the Oregon boys (Ifish when I was allowed to post there) to use downriggers for tuna but haven't had much success. Most are locked into fast trolling.
Downriggers work for deep halibut too.
