Looking at adding dredges to my offshore arsenal. I know that on larger boats, they are often pulled from outrigger bases. Would this be ok with the Lee Outriggers? Mine are the ones which attach to the side of the helm/cabin, and not the top mounts. I'd like to avoid pulling dredges from the corner or midship cleat, to get them just wider than the noisy water. Any experiences with them run this way? Also open to recommendations on dredges.

I probably would not..not heavy enough. I run squid teasers off my outrigger and run dredge off cleats. Not an inboard but still raise fish...caught lots of fish off those dredges.

Also, tournament cable makes a dredge boom but that is too much stuff on the boat.
