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.

Tom - sudden left turn: What the URL for your guide service web site? Gotta
discuss something, but not here.

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.

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