They have worked well other than the auto stop design. In 2014 I decided to add a 3rd one. After a couple times out the driveshaft seized into the motor. Since it was still new I had it replaced with Bass Pro. The replacement did the same thing after a couple times out. This time I reached out to Tecla. The new owner of Burt's Custom Tackle and Walker Downriggers. Their response was this "There was a bit of trial and error involved when figuring these things out as our Canadian predecessors had seemed to lack attention to these small details that eventually lead to much larger problems as you have become well aware of." They sent me a replacement motor and driveshaft. A few months ago this same downrigger the downrigger had a fried motor. I emailed Walker Downriggers mutiple times with no response. Finally after 3 months they finally responded. This was their response "We are currently sourcing motors and don’t have any in stock, and to be honest I’m not sure how we can help you at this time. We should have motors figured out for you by next season. Please touch base with use earlier in the year and we’ll try our best to get you up and running." Walker downriggers were decent until they were sold. They are garbage now. If I had to do over again I would not have went with Walker Downriggers. My advice is to go with Scotty or Cannon. Stay away from Walker. Review: Three Stars - Downrigger works fine but came with broken pulley on counter. Contacted teclausa and cannot get it replaced. ## Features - Single Rodholder, 2 ft.
