I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. ru-vid.comUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_aoWMZI8GUpmH I bought these lake trollers for my 15’ Grumman sport boat and they worked almost perfectly for fishing lake trout. The only negative is that they seemed sticky on the retrieval, so I removed the spool and greased the underside of the stainless steel plate with some lip balm (the only thing I could think to use that I had on the boat with me). Then they worked much more smoothly. I don’t recommend using these down riggers if you’re planning on fishing deeper than 50’ as you’ll spend more time cranking than you will fishing.
Thank you so much for the video. Was thinking about buying but thought it might be a hassle operating alone out on the water. This shows me It is very simple. Thanks again.
*We tried this out finally yesterday and it worked awesome! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s we put it on our 16 foot aluminum boat and trolled with it. We didn’t catch anything but it was still fun and worked awesome! Can’t wait to use this baby again and hopefully reel in a big ole fish! Very easy to install and set up.*
The animations always make it look easy. There's so much more to consider. Line weight, troll speed, ball weight, line release poundage, electrical fields, but for the absolute basics the video is okay.
Hello, Thank you for reaching out to Cannon. That is up to you as the user. When using braid if you have an electric down rigger the short stop will not work. Also You would want to find a steel spool for the downrigger as over time the braid line will cut the composite spools.
ola,gostei muito desse aparelho de pesca, gostaria de ter um para minha pescaria aqui em meu pais, seria muito interessante,obrigada pela atenção e ter resposta desse comentario
Hi Berny - A Digi-Troll 5 will work with a CannonLink system. However you will need some additional components such as a Humminbird depth finder that is compatible with the CannonLink. Since the CannonLink is no longer being manufactured, this would be an older model Humminbird that was produced during the same time as the CannonLink, before the models ending in the number "9" came out. Unfortunately the newer Humminbird units do not have the software necessary for the CannonLink to function.
