Nice video. I've got one comment. On the Great Lakes, you'll catch kings that you can't always control the fish to "stay home". That's why when I stack lines my upper line always has a shorter lead length. Say bottom is 50' back and upper is 25' back.
This video has been very helpful. Thanks guys. By the way I work in a pawn shop (we sale fishing gear) and I mentioned the Chanel and they already watch! Small world.
One thing I would like to add as far as the line length goes. Do the opposite for Kings/Chinook in the ocean. When they hit, they will dive rather than come up. You'll want your bottom line shorter than the top line. That way if one hits the top line and dives, it won't get tangled up in the lines. They usually hang out at 100' to 150' deep. Also when fighting big kings, ya never leave lines out. 20-25lb kings will go where they want, and that usually means into a mess. haha
Great tutorial. Always wanted to stack,but it seemed like it would present too many chances for massive tangles when performing zig-zag patterns of in high wind conditions. Thank you guys for all the great stuff you provide for us to be better and broaden our horizons .
was wonderfull video thank you alot can i have a question? If i have double stack line realeases Lets say 100 feet of water One on the middle in 50 feet deep Other one 90 feet deep of water. how to stop downrigger automatically when the middle line release clips come to water zero ?
Cameron- I came up with a much better downrigger stacking setup, using Scotty releases. Let me know if you are interested. I am a big fan of the Addicted series guys, and developed this to be much better than what currently exists. Thank you
That was super helpful, thank you Cameron! I'm interested in picking up a few ( 2 - 4 ) of your signature Kokanee Black rods, though inventory is low around Portland at the moment. Which length do you prefer for downriver trolling? 7'6", 8' or 9'? Do you ever mix it up, e.g. shorter off the back, longer off the sides to create more spread?
What down rigger rod was that in your video? Trying to get set up for freshwater stripers with a little lighter tackle than most use and those rods looked perfect to pair with those Okuma Cold water reels.
Not sure how big the fish you target get. But honestly don’t spend too much money. If you are new to trolling and want to try it to see if you like it. Get a fibreglass medium heavy rod and it won’t disappoint. Once you figure out if you like it then go big. That’s what I did and it works great
One trick I've seen if the top rod pops is this. Rig up a couple of 1 - 2 oz weights with the snaps & releases. After you reel in the fish, keep the bottom line at depth. From there, connect the snap to the DR line with fishing line attached. The weight hits the top clip and you're right back at depth w/o pulling up the rigger.
Flat calm lake with no current? Its as easy stacking pancakes. Out in the saltchuck, with a steady chop, and a running tide? That's where it turns in to a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I gave up stacking rods long ago.
Great video on double stackers to get deployed again quickly!

Just learning how this all works. Your videos are the shit! Thank you!!!
Wow...that pretty ingenious. Can't wait to try it when I finally buy a boat.
Well done on the video! Best explanation I have seen yet. great info!
Afternoon Cameron
Thanks for the tip
Very helpful information. Thank you

Great video as always!
Hi, what clip did you use to stack your line with?
Great tutorial. Always wanted to stack,but it seemed like it would present too many chances for massive tangles when performing zig-zag patterns of in high wind conditions. Thank you guys for all the great stuff you provide for us to be better and broaden our horizons .
Will those clips work on downrigger braid or are they just for cable?
I freaking love it. Genius. Did you come up with this technique??
Do you put the boat in neutral when you get a fish on or keep moving?
was wonderfull video thank you alot
can i have a question?
If i have double stack line realeases
Lets say 100 feet of water
One on the middle in 50 feet deep
Other one 90 feet deep of water.
how to stop downrigger automatically when the middle line release clips come to water zero ?
when u auto retrieve ur ball, do u have to manually stop to release the stacker or does it slides all the way down to the ball ?
What is the clip you’re using for the second rod and how is it different than the first clip from the first rod??

I always go deep center and upper outer
Awesome video. Great tips
great video guys

Has this been tried for sea run cutts?
how come your not using pro releases. I picked up 4 at the sportsman show .now I have to go buy cannon releases ...great video .

How's the Colombia fishing?
What kind of stackers?

Guy H. I use a shuttle hawk like this. Best part is it auto returns to surface after the next fish.
Lmao the most important part of this video was what type of clip to use on the 2nd rod and you spent about 10 seconds on that lmao
How deep would you go for kokanee in 40 degree water?
Who steers the boat when your untangling the big mess ... lol

All the guides don't seem to have a problem
