Rigging for the Haul: Downriggers, Gaffs, and Pro Rods

There is fishing, and then there is catching. The difference is usually depth control and reliable gear.

At Go2Marine, we stock the hard-to-find commercial gear that keeps the fleet running.

1. Depth Control: Scotty Downriggers

To catch King Salmon or Halibut, you need to be exactly where the bait is. Scotty Downriggers (electric and manual) are the industry standard for precision depth control.

  • Electric (1106/2106): For the serious troller. Auto-stop functionality prevents the weight from hitting the pulley.
  • High Speed: Newer models retrieve weight faster, getting your gear out of the water quickly when a fish strikes another line.

2. The Rods: Lamiglas Reliability

You don't buy a Lamiglas rod for the logo; you buy it for the backbone. Whether you are mooching for salmon or dropping heavy jigs for lingcod, Lamiglas blanks are designed to handle the abuse of daily commercial use.

3. The Landing: Gaffs and Nets

You fought the fish for 20 minutes; don't lose it at the rail. Commercial boats rely on heavy-duty Gaffs with aluminum or fiberglass handles.

Need specific netting? We also supply supplies for gillnet repairs and hanging.
