The Science of sub-surface fishing moves closer to perfection with the introduction of the patented Z-WING downrigger system. Operating on the principle of hydrodynamic depression rather than just weight, the Z-WING overcomes the shortcomings of the conventional downrigger systems.
REPLACE THE HEAVY LEAD BALL WITH A
Having the ability to troll lures and baits over a wide range of speeds without complicated adjustments to the length of the tow cable has been the dream of downrigger anglers and captains for many years. Now the Z-WING downrigger system has made this dream come true.
The Z-WING is a lightweight, 13" x 7" piece of virtually indestructible polypropylene plastic. No more heavy lead balls rolling around the boat or swinging off the end of downrigger booms which can cause damage to both angler and boat alike. The model 250 weighs 3.75 pounds and can be trolled at speeds of 1 - 6 knots. The model 500 weighs 1.25 pounds and is ideal at speeds of 4 - 10 knots.
The Z-WING has three positions
With the center hole being the most
efficient. Attaching the Z-WING 250
by the center hole will produce a
16 degree downward angle far
outperforming a 5 lb. lead ball.
The Z-WING will hold this angle
and lateral position at speeds
from 3 knots and up.
