Basillio

Sold Sold

These are on ebay right now and the reserve has been met at $440. You can still contact me if your interested.

Used twice. Purchased them this spring and then switched to electrics. Pitched the boxes thinking this was it and then found a great deal. They come with low-profile swivel bases and single rod holders. These are the ones with the telescoping booms. Have 200ft of stainless cable with weight hook on both. Perfect condition. Looking for ~500 OBO. Thanks. Contact me at 616-581-7948 and leave a message if I don't pick up.

I finally made the switch to electric downriggers. Found a good deal on a pair of Big Jons and have a question or two for you guys that have been using them. What is the purpose of the holes and the adjustment screw on the top of the motor? My first thought was that it was for lubrication but my first throughts have got me in trouble before so I thought I would ask. I've noticed that the newer motors have these holes covered by a sealant of some sort. Also, can I leave these outside on my boat uncovered. Second question...can I release (put them down) using a manual approach...i.e. loosen the nut and let them free spool down. It takes a while to set them down and I seem to get a big lag/loop in my line in front of the cannonball. Any thoughts..all are appreciated. Thanks, Brian
