Scotty Depthking 23in Manual Downrigger w Rod Holder

The Scotty Depthking 23in Manual Downrigger w Rod Holder is a precision depth-control system built for anglers who fish deep waters and demand fast retrieval speeds. Designed by Scotty, an industry leader in downrigger technology, this manual downrigger combines a high-speed two feet per turn spool with a spray-protected positive drive depth counter, giving you accurate depth management and quick cable recovery in demanding saltwater and freshwater conditions.

The 23-inch stainless steel boom and clutch brake system deliver reliable performance under load. An extension handle on the spool provides extra mechanical advantage when deploying heavy weights, while the adjustable boom-mounted Rod Master II rod holder secures your fishing rod at the optimal angle. The spray-protected depth counter resists corrosion in salt-air environments, maintaining accuracy through extended seasons. At 8.22 pounds and compact in profile, the unit mounts easily on small to mid-sized boats without consuming excessive deck space.

This downrigger is purpose-built for anglers targeting deep-water species such as salmon, walleye, and lake trout where precise depth control is critical to success. The manual operation removes dependence on electrical systems, making it ideal for boats with limited power infrastructure or anglers who prefer mechanical simplicity and durability. Whether you're a weekend fisherman exploring new deep-water grounds or running consistent offshore patterns, the Scotty Depthking delivers the retrieval speed and depth accuracy serious anglers require.
