Designed to be the most effective and versatile deep-water unit available! This unit will allow you to catch deep -water fish were ever they live! The Deep Drop Pro will handle any deep-water fish you target. I have personally fished in 2,200 ft of water for Black cod in Alaska and the DDP even surprised me. The Picture on the home page is one of two 30 pound plus Shortracker rockfish we caught (on the same drop) in 1,400 ft using 7 lbs. of lead. This unit is bullet proof!
The Deep Drop Pro features a custom Stainless Steel rod holder adapter with a machined sleeve to allow for a smooth 360 degree rotation. The DDP can be fished from your standard rod holder regardless of its mounting position. You don't have to add anything to fish this unit. The adapter has a locking knob for any position fishing. The custom fiberglass boom graduates from a very strong butt section to a sensitive tip making it is easy to detect strikes and allowing the boom to bend, making it more effective on large deep water fish that pull hard. The boom is positioned so you that the line will level-wind onto the spool without guiding it. The 3-inch Pacific King pulley makes it possible to wind your leader onto the spool and keeps your line from looping around the tip in the wind. The DDP's motor is a very quiet Kristal XL001 12-volt powerhouse that draws less than 11 amps under full load. The Deep Drop Pro has a large capacity spool (1,400 yrds) and a great drag (35 lbs.) along with a retrieve rate of 250-275 ft per minute. The drag will adjust from 5-35 lbs. and you can obtain complete free spool with the drag knob. A double pole double throw toggle switch will allow you to power up or down if need be. This function added to the any position locking knob would allow you to use this unit as a downrigger or a deep trolling unit if you desire.
The Deep Drop Pro is a very compact and easy to use unit and comes ready to fish. The DDP has the very best warranty in the business (All components made by Deep Drop except for the Kristal XL001 reel which is covered by the manufacturers warranty which is excellent). This unit with 360 degree rotation and any position locking knob makes bent butt rods with stationary position and no way to retrieve any of your leader or swivels through the tip less than desirable.
