A Bottom bouncer designed for your downrigger. “The Dredge” is truly proof that “necessity is the mother of all invention”. As POW Casting started to become a recognized and respected name in the down rigging community, we started to get more and more requests for custom colours, new products, and more. As time went on the one item that was frequently requested was a snag resistant downrigger weight for dragging bottom, who new that was a thing?. We did some market research and discovered that this technique was popular all over North America for targeting lethargic, staging and bottom dwelling fish. “The Dredge” is designed to have an efficient directional profile for excellent tracking, a smooth snag resistant lead edge and a contoured shape to allow it to roll over underwater obstacles. We were confident we had a winning design and we did. What we didn’t expect was the feedback that this weight wasn’t just an excellent bottom bouncer, but it was also a highly effective as a conventional downrigger weight as well. This revelation combined with a competitive price point had made “The Dredge” an affordable safer weight for novice and a highly effective tool for more experienced fisherman. “The Dredge” will find a role and be welcomed on any boat. A highly efficient weight that produces little to no drag or blowback, both on and off the bottom. Tracks true when raising, lowering, dragging or using as a conventional weight. Sheds weeds and other debris very well. Snag resistant design rolls over nets and other obstacles. A superior replacement for conventional cannon balls and weights.
