What an intelligent and problem solving answer to a person's serious
attempt at finding solution. As usual, it's the right wingers here who
bring a thread down the gutter.

Dude, I took it in the spirit in which it was intended - no harm, no
foul.

If you are looking for a fight, take it to another thread.

My Canon downrigger has a very strong buzz coming up from the wire through
the whole unit. I know this is acceptable and a common problem and the
fish
can't hear it but I can. Any one have a way to quiet this down. I have
tried
rubber pads between the downrigger and the mount but not much change.

Crank the music up man. Works for me.

Heh - I get lots of annoyed looks when I'm fishing on the local lakes
- I usually have WEEI Boston Sports Talk Radio blasting away as I
fish. It's pretty funny.

Later,

A case of Miller light will make that buzz go away lol

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.

Running spectra will stop the buzz. Or adding a bungee crod between the
wire and the boat, seems to help.

I might try the spectra. I did the bungee thing and it didn't work.


Put 10' or so of very heavy mono at the end. Allows ou to clip on the
release with out it sliding.
