Plug-puller, thanks for the advise it helps a lot. I have only trolled rapalas one time at Matt Warner reservoir and did pretty well but it wasn't w/ downriggers. I always hear good things and I'm anxious to give it a try. I don't know the first thing about it though. There were so many sizes and styles. The shadrap the floating the jointed...etc.. just wasn't sure what the most popular and productive were. I will give them a try. I bought a few that resembled natural looking minnows so we'll see how we do. I also use a yellow and white shallow diver that I used in the past and it's worked fairly well. So it shocked me that I had a rapala that didn't resemble any fish that was in that lake and I was catching them on them. As I look on the shelves at Cabelas and Sportsmans there's a lot that look pretty wild to me but I just always wonder if they'll work or not. Guess you'll never know until you try them. Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.
