Bottom Line Tackle is a web-based company that designs and sells some very unique and practical fresh and saltwater fishing accessories for Northern California. Now Bottom Line is the new owner of Ex-cel Lures, one of the best trout & kokanee spoons on the market. They offer both sizes of Ex-cels – the 2 3 / 8 inch size in 48 colors, and the 1 ¼ inch size in 12 colors. Ex-cel spoons have a great action at any speed from 1.2 to 3.0 mph Another very unique item is Bottom Line’ s No Snag tubular downrigger weights with or without a built-in thermometer! I have been using tubular weights for some time, and I love how they bounce off the bottom without getting hung up like traditional weights. The side strip thermometer shows different temperatures as you drop the weight to different depths. A great idea for downrigger fishermen! These weights are built of solid stainless steel with stainless eyebolts and locknuts. They are very high quality, available in weights from 6 to 15 pounds, and are priced from only $ 36. They are available in polished stainless or Powder Coated stainless.
