WTB basic fishing gear in Victoria or Vancouver

[stevo911]

Just got myself a boat, need the basics for jogging/trolling and halibut. I won't be doing a lot of salmon fishing (it's a fairweather boat, and we don't eat a ton of salmon) so looking to stick to cost effective but reliable gear:

Manual Scotty downriggers, shimano 4000gt or Daiwa reels, rods, halibut rods/reels (going to drift, so no need for anchors)

I have a buddy or two with manuals kicking around, what's your budget $100 a piece as long as they have some kind of mount? I can check with them.

Yeah something along those lines. I've got a line on a couple old Scotty Saltaires for about 100 bucks for the pair with mounts, not sure how much better/different the newer scotties are for casual use such as mine...
