English term or phrase: downrigger
Definition from Dictionary.com:
A fishing line used in trolling that is attached to a weighted cable in order to put lures or bait at a specific depth under a boat, usually near the floor.

Example sentence(s):
  • As Scott leant over to pick up the rod, one of the rods in the Downriggers also went off. It was the start of a hectic session that saw us catch 4 spaniards, 6 spotted mackerel and a cobia in 2 hours with a few lost fish and missed bites added to the mayhem. All but 2 of the fish came on the Downriggers. Cannon Downriggers
  • By using a downrigger, in combination with a depth sounder, you can present your bait or lure to fish marking on your screen, or at the depth where fish are likely to be holding. Downriggershop
  • For those that are running boats less than 15 feet in length, a short arm downrigger is definitely the route to take. With a craft this size, a compact downrigger design with an arm length that falls between 20 and 24 inches will do the job nicely. BassProShops

Affondatore


Definition from own experience or research:
In italiano si può utilizzare sia il termine downrigger che affondatore, ho tradotto alcuni manuali di attrezzatura da pesca in passato e ho trovato entrambe le versioni, è counque preferibile utilizzare affondatore.

Example sentence(s):
  • Esempio da catalogo web: L’affondatore (o downrigger) è un sistema utilizzato prevalentemente nella pesca a traina. Si monta sullo specchio o su un capodibanda laterali della poppa. È importante accertarsi che il posizionamento sia corretto, ossia che permetta la rotazione del braccio nonché la calata del calvo. Per installarlo si rende necessaria una piastra imbullonata a una parte piana. Tuttavia, in commercio ci sono determinati modelli che offrono un piede, inserito direttamente nel portacanna. Tale apparecchio evita la foratura della vetroresina. - pescare.biz
