I have a pair of Sport Trolls they would make a good starter down rigger for someone. They have short booms, no bases, new wire but no clips. They are in pretty good condition. Will sell dirt cheap but would rather trade for a few trolling spoons or a 45 or 55 series reel that still has decent drag left to it.
The South End provides useful resources and discussion forums for those that fish The South End of Lake Michigan for Salmon, Steelhead, Perch, and Bass as well as elsewhere in the Region and Chicago area.
