Bought my used Lund with two Cannon manual down riggers w/ line counter installed. I haven't nor do I believe I will ever use them. The previous owner added attachments to the Cannon mounting brackets to fit into the Lund rail system (blue plate in the pics). Looking for $100 each or $180 for...

Nice! I've dabbled with this general style. I think your hook selection is better with more shank to tie on. I stole these hooks from my gear fishing bag.
