Quick take
A 10 lb vinyl-coated ball weight for downrigger trolling.
This 10 lb downrigger weight is an oval cast iron ball with a silver finish, made to hold a downrigger line at depth. The vinyl coating helps protect the weight during use, and it suits trolling for salmon, trout, striped bass and walleye. Anglers who run downriggers for those species can pick the size that matches the depth and current they fish.
Best for
- Trolling for salmon in saltwater or freshwater
- Keeping bait at a set depth during trolling

Skip if
