On The Hook Returning Adult Registered: 06/08/02 Posts: 277 Loc: Post Falls, Idaho	I am looking for a inexpensive downrigger. What are some good brands and what should I look for in them. Any advice would help. _________________________ Life is a beach then the sharks eat you!!!!

Bobber Down Spawner Registered: 04/30/99 Posts: 526 Loc: Lake Forest Dark, Wa	You could cruise some of the pawn shops and find some old penn cranks for $40 - $60 a piece. I bought two Penn cranks from a pawn shop in Everett about 5 years ago for $40 a piece and I've never had a problem with them yet. Check E-bay out to.
