Hi, relatively new to saltwater fishing in my own boat and looking for some advice, i have manual downriggers currently no budget to upgrade but looking ;-), also don't mind the manuals as I mostly fish summers, local to Vancouver and usually under 100 feet. I currently have 2-10lb balls and 1-15lb ball, lost one 10 last year. I am looking to get another or two to have a spare, I have really only used the 10's. My question is what do most of use around the Vancouver area, Cap, Sandheads out to RC and mile marker, I don't venture too far. Would you stick to 10's (easier to wind) or are 15's the standard, I am looking to get another one or two in the case I lose another one out on the water. I learned the mixing a 10 on one side with a 15 on the other is not good for balancing the troll speed. Will 15's increase my success or are 10's just fine?
Thanks for the advice!!
