Down riggers?
#10
I got a manual DR with 6lb weight and typically fish for trout/kokes at 1.5-2.5 mph down about 20-50 ft and it works great with some blowback. I also have another manual DR with 200# braid and using 4lb Ball and that has minimal blowback compared to the 6lb. The braids makes a huge difference with limiting blowback. So if you want to run light weight go with braid. Also get yourself some shuttlehawks and learn how to use it! It will make things easier for ya, your poor man's electric DR.
