Outrigger Suggestions....

[scattered_grass]

I need to pick your brain on a subject other than whether or not you like WAHOONBOX or WorldCat Lemon

What size outrigger would you recommend for the Drum Runner, a 32' Carolina Express? Not looking to pull anything super heavy as far as teasers or baits go.

Currently looking a Lee's, because I can get a good deal on them...How long and # of spreaders for our rig?

Thanks!

WOW, that boat looks pretty neat with the bow thruster.
if you have a hardtop i would think about 18' sailfish riggers by etec. i had them put on my 34'cc and love em have them rigged to handle both long and short lines, there easy to use, and clean. strong and dont bounce while running..good luck....

we're gonna put put a Marlin Tower on her, and are going with gunnel mounts. Thanks for the advice.

Can't tell how your express gunnel is layed out by the covered tarp, but these might be compact enough to fit nicely. Nice rig there also!!

Lee The Original Wishbone Outrigger Holder


The Original Wishbone Style Outrigger Holder has been in production for over 45 years. Setting the standard for the industry, our "Junior" outrigger holder has often been imitated, but never equaled. Its ease of operation, adjustable fishing angle, ability to lay down for bridges and small footprint makes it the ideal holder for a multitude of boats.

Durability was the watchword at its conception. You won't find plastic parts in this holder. Constructed of heavy duty brass forgings, heavy wall brass pipe and a stainless steel main tube, it epitomizes strength and reliability. The three point mounting system provides maximum strength and distributes the stress to the mounting surface over a wide area. This holder can be mounted vertically or angled toward the stern. Somewhere between twenty to thirty five degrees is normal.



Our "Junior" design is available in two sizes, the 2" x 18" Main Tube (OH226S) and the 2" x 36" (OH234S). Model OH226S is for use with our deluxe 19ft. single spreader poles and non-spreader poles up to 22ft. For double spreader poles longer then 20ft. we recommend the OH234S.

To deploy the rigger into the fishing position, simply open the locking gate and loosen the clamp housing. The clamp housing then slides down the main tube until you either lock it or it meets the stop collar for a preset fishing position. To lower the unit for passing under bridges, the locking gate stays closed and the clamp remains locked to the top of the main tube. The eye bolt is removed, thus separating the clamp housing from the wishbone. The main tube is then lowered into the supplied lay down hook.

I really like this setup. I've done some research and found some discounted poles and wishbone bases on Consumers Marine website. Talked to a guy and he said he really likes the convenience (ease of deployment) of the wishbones compared to some other setups...still not 100% sure on what size pole to go with but I will probably be taking the plunge here soon

still open to suggestions!

Thanks for the input thus far.
