Quick take
Vinyl-coated downrigger weights with fins that track straight and prevent cable twist during trolling at depth.
This 8 lb MarineNow downrigger weight has an oval body with a fin, shaped to track straight and keep the cable from twisting while you troll. A vinyl coating covers the weight so it is gentler on boat finishes and gear, and it suits both fresh and salt water. It is a practical choice for anglers who want to hold a lure at a set depth without dragging bottom.
