I saw a guy put one of the small Scotty's (I think it's called a lake troller) on his canoe using a scotty clamp clip. These are about $80 or so.

He was running a 3lb ball and doing just fine. I probably would'nt run any more weight than that - you just have to compensate a bit for the reduced weight (meaning the ball will track at a higher angle a bit so you have let out a little more cable).

But down to 50-70 feet it should be fine.

Have at it.
