do you think the hum is bad & how can you stop it, i very seldom hear a noise?
JD says
All downrigger cables hum…so obviously it isn’t a huge issue with the fish…but it can drive ya nuts listening to it all day long. So, a lot of folks are switching to Scotty’s Downrigger Braid which kills the hum and has less drag in the water…
Jake says
Is the hum from the motor or the down rigger cable? What kind of camera and depth was that? Did you have the camera on the downrigger weight?
JD says
Yes, the hum is from the cable. The video was shot anywhere from 35 feet down (intro sequence) down to 110 feet at Lake Tahoe. The camera was attached to the weight and is a trick model my brother in Hollywood obtained…
