185 Tournament pro & downrigger recomendations

[chad]

I'm looking to get a few downriggers for my boat, any recomendations on what type to get or, what to avoid? I don't care if they are electric or manual. I will be mounting them on the gunnels of the boat. Thanks!

Chad,
I have a Alumacraft Magnum and I mounted Cannon Sportroll downriggers and have been using them for 5 years. Very rugged, easy to use, easy to crank and relatively cheap as far as DR go. I have fished in other boats that had Big Jon and did not like them at all. Just my opinion.
