Scotty 1060 Depthking Manual Downrigger – Medium, Black with Rod Holder

Meet the Scotty #1060 Depthking Manual Downrigger, designed for deep-water trolling on smaller boats. This compact unit delivers precise depth control through a high-speed two-foot-per-turn spool, giving you quick depth adjustments without sacrificing handling. The included extension handle provides extra leverage when lifting heavier weights, helping you maintain smooth, consistent retrieves in choppy conditions. A 200 ft reach pairs with a 150 lb test stainless steel downrigger cable, supporting deep drops while maintaining sturdy tension through the fight. Think of it as a reliable partner for scenarios where depth matters, from coastal channels to shelf-water trolling, all while fitting neatly on medium-sized platforms.

Durability, protection, and precision you can feel

The Depthking is built to endure saltwater environments. Its marine-grade stainless steel boom resists corrosion, and the entire assembly is treated to stay protected in marine settings. A spray-protected positive-drive depth counter keeps readings clear even when spray flies, so you can trust your depth data when replaying a bite. The clutch brake system boasts the largest braking surface in the industry, delivering controlled stopping with less line slip and smoother releases—crucial when a fish makes a sudden move.

Rod management, mounting, and deck versatility

On deck, you’ll find the Boom-mounted 355 Rodmaster II Rod Holder, designed for stable rod positioning as you troll. The package includes an #1010 quick-slide deck mounting bracket, which makes it easier to position, remove, or relocate the downrigger to suit changing currents and fish targets. This setup is well-suited for medium boats where space, balance, and ease of use matter for long days on the water.

Real-world use scenarios and benefits

Imagine gliding along a deep-water channel at first light, setting precise depths with a quick crank and watching the spool rotate with steady momentum. The extension handle helps you lift heavier weights when weather or depth demands extra leverage, while the 200 ft, 150 lb test cable maintains consistent tension during extended trolling runs. The easy-to-read depth counter keeps you informed at a glance, and the included rod holder keeps rods conveniently within reach for quick strikes or line checks. This combination supports a practical, dependable trolling setup without requiring extra gear or complicated rigging.
