Downrigger Breakaway Line

Post by Hawkeye »

I just bought a Moore Depth probe 900. I am looking for a short piece of @ 2ft of breakaway rigger cable 80# 100# test to go from the probe to the ball. I would rather loose the ball when I get hung up than risk loosing the probe and all. Does anyone know if any of the local shops have these? Yeah I could make some up but it does not make sense to buy 200 ft of cable for a couple of feet I need to use.

Thanks

Now to get it installed!!!

Cabelas has some wire cable assemblies that you may use.

You can get one from:

A&P in Wynantskill NY
518-283-5920

The price is: $9.95 and shipping for a small enveloppe like this should be minimal

Tell him it's Andre that gave you his coordinates.

FYI when I run the 900 probe I always run it as the upper of my 4 riggers,that way it is the least likely to get hung up and it still tells me speed,if I want to know temp down deeper I merely drop it for a look and then bring it back up,...I realize not everyone runs 4 riggers but you get the idea,I'm sure....better safe than sorry,,In 10 years I have never lost a probe,,,gosh,I shoulda never said that! next time I go out,,,,,bam!

Hawkeye, I'd be glad to make them up for you, but I dont have any lighter cable, just regular 150# downrigger cable....
