Quick take
Coated keel-style downrigger weight with blue flash plate to attract fish.
This is an 8 lb keel-style downrigger weight with a cast iron body and a polyethylene coating that keeps the metal from marking up your boat as the line comes in. A blue flash plate is built into the keel. It is a good fit for anglers running a downrigger kit who want to take a line down toward the lakebed or any depth in between.

- Trolling setups where weight needs to track smoothly

Strengths
- Polyethylene coating tracks smoothly through water
