Scotty - 371 Trolling Snubber

The Scotty - 371 Trolling Snubber is a critical safeguard for downrigger fishing in New Zealand’s deep lakes and coastal waters. Designed to absorb the violent shock of trolling weights hitting the bottom or the sudden strike of a heavy Trout or Kingfish, this snubber acts as a forgiving link between your cable and cannonball.

Constructed from tough, UV-resistant material, it provides essential electrical insulation to prevent electrolysis from spooking fish. This model features a high-strength Sampo trolling snap for a secure connection to your weight, making it an indispensable tool for serious trollers at Lake Taupo or off the coast.

• Shock Absorption – Cushions sudden jolts to protect downrigger booms and cables.

• Sampo Trolling Snap – Heavy-duty, self-locating snap for fast and secure weight attachment.
• Snag Prevention – buying time to react if the weight catches the bottom.
• High Visibility – Easy to handle and locate when resetting gear in low light.
