[QUOTE="RivRunR, post: 287170, member: 1928"] Yeah, I tried them out right after the install. Very little movement on the mast tip, and the gunnel tracks are much more sturdy than they look. I only fish relatively small TVA-type lakes, and I wouldn't fish the riggers (or the boat !) out in 2-3 footers. My only concern about the riggers getting ripped from the boat would be if I were to snag a tree or something with a ball, but I always triple check that my down rigger "drag" is set pretty loose. I also run a lanyard around the riggers connected to the boat just in case. Thanks for the heads up tho'. [/QUOTE]
