Operation of a downrigger
Downriggers consist of four major components, the weight, cable, pole, and the spool. A fishing line is attached to the downrigger cable by means of a "line release." The weight is normally a five-to-ten-pound mass of lead which is connected to the stainless steel cable. The spool is brought up either by a manual crank or via an electric motor.
