RE: DIY Downrigger anyone?
May work in shallow waters - sorta - but I'd say that 16 ounces is a tad light for deeper trolling and you will still get a fair amount of angling out from perpendicular at trolling speeds with the drag of the downrigger line, weight itself and the lure setups.

See you on the river.

Seems a bit complicated, why not just buy a dipsy diver for $10-$15
