My Canon downrigger has a very strong buzz coming up from the wire through

can't hear it but I can. Any one have a way to quiet this down. I have

rubber pads between the downrigger and the mount but not much change.

Are you using coated wire or straight SS?

The coated wire will quiet down the buzz - you will still hear it but
it won't be as annoying.

I've never actually gotten rid of the buzz entirely.

Some people spend their entire lives lin bars looking for the never-ending
buzz.
