Nekton Zwing 150 Yellow Hydrodynamic Downrigger – Lightweight, Stable Depth for Deep Water Trolling

Lightweight, hydrodynamic trolling with Nekton Zwing 150

Meet the Nekton Zwing 150 Yellow Hydrodynamic Downrigger, a streamlined weight designed to reach depth with less tow line and less bulk. Weighing just 1.5 pounds, this advanced plastic body is built to withstand saltwater and freshwater use, while a stainless steel bracket anchors to your tow line for secure performance.

How it works

The Zwing's winged shape uses water flow and boat motion to drag itself downward and stay level at depth. That means you may need far less line than a traditional ball to reach the same depth. For example, reaching 15 feet deep can take about 45 feet of line with a ball, whereas the Zwing 150 typically needs only 19 feet.

Key benefits

• Lightweight design at 1.5 lb simplifies handling and reduces fatigue on long trips.
• Hydrodynamic form provides depth stability and potentially smoother trolling at speed.
• Less tow line required saves space on board and cuts line management time.
• Durable construction for saltwater and freshwater use, with a stainless steel towing bracket.
• Versatile for trolling, underwater photography, videography, data collection, net towing, and more.

What you can do with Zwing 150

• Maintain a specific depth while trolling at 4-10 knots, depending on conditions.
• Use with underwater cameras or sensors for stable depth control during shoots.
• Employ in data collection or net towing where controlled depth helps performance.
• Switch between freshwater and saltwater setups with ease thanks to robust materials.
