Let’s use 100lb to be sure)))

great video. I used these the other day as like you said, you will always lose a ball or two fishing. in my case it was a tree sown around 70 feet.

How far do you put the lure from the downrigger weight ball?

Title should be salmon staging grounds.

Very helpful, thank you! (The instructions that came with my downrigger were absolutely useless.)

Hi there

Great vid! It’s upside down. Love it.

Been killing the walleyes and smallies ling line trolling the shallows with mini crankbaits but now the water level is crazy high and i cant find em anymore!

Dual axis don’t tip down far enough either, I like my rod tip by the water line for what I do.

How do you use the digi troll transducer?

Don't play music while u talk.

Easier to go to Costco

Have they fixed the control boards. Many reports that the control boards malfunction.

I love the Cannon Optimum integration with my Humminbird Apex units and use it all the time!

Zero ice on fish. I am sure someone asshole was ripping

I want it, how to buy

Never liked the idea of using shorter rods in the rear just for the sake of avoiding tangles. That's why you set them at different angles. There's far more benefit in my mind to have all the same length trolling rods as to be able to put any rod in any rod holder. If you catch a fish on your outside board, you can move all the rods over one holder and make that your inside board when you reset it, you don't need to run it all the way out there to reset as the outside board again. Sometimes you can't always rotate the rods like that if running them at different depths i know, but still, limiting the rods to be in a specific holder just doesn't seem like a problem worth having if it's just a matter of accidentally crossing a line being slightly less likely. If you're having trouble getting the rods in and out with hitting the lines of the other rods, I'd suggest you either space them out more, or get height extensions on the rod holders as oppose to getting varying length trolling rods.

you are using it ! not running it ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What are the benefits of connecting to Hummingbird if we have the transducer? I prefer Lowrance for my GPS/Finder but like the idea of the new Cannon tech.

If you are targeting pinks you are just wasting herring. You could have trolled a bare hook this season and limited the boat. Herring strips are for silvers but you do you.

if i m still going to fast i have a troll plate besides a sock what other options are there to troll slower?

I have used the electric and 1050 riggers for many years. kzbin.infoUgkxbjBedIFSQ6Y6rp8DrCC_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.

hey what are the dimensions and brand of rod thankyou

what type of rod holders you have there attached to the sides ?

Such a nice fishery to use just jigs or other gear without flashers. Use 6-8 lb line and just cast.

🇮🇱🤰🚫

Thanks for the info, it would help if your camera showed what your doing very little of the actual downrigger etc is shown.

Too bad for a VERY SHORT season this year on the Skagit

Says my 2 year old galaxy is too new. So how am I supposed to update? Awfully expensive product for no way to update!

The app says it's designed for older Android. How old does my phone have to be?

What if your clutch does not release the line, how to fix that?

What a bunch of bs. My samsung phone is about a year old, and app says my phone is too new.

Not going spend 300$+heart of riggers cost 3$ ,can’t find parts 😢

Toogle, spring ,cheesy wear out fast ,,line counter cheesy also

This video is slightly misleading. It doesn’t come with the swivel base. Here in Alaska it was $300 for the Downrigger model 5 ST and the swivel base sold separately for $130. It does come with that fixed mount that sits on top of the swivel base.

This is very helpful. Cannon instructions tell us to first close the terminator before running the wires which makes no sense.

Now that I'm all setup and ready to hit the water for the first time.. How tight should you make the clutch knob?

Thanks for the lesson fishing pinks in the Puget Sound. I prefer river fishing. The excitement on the river gets me all jiggy.😊 Happy Fishing!

Still waiting to learn how to use these with braid.

I'm about to install my first downrigger, a Cannon Easy Troll. Your explanation of stacking made perfect sense. Thank you!

Tube holders look dicey to me. Trolling through raves, planer boards pulling then BAM a big wiggle from a trout or walleye. I'm afraid I'd lose my whole outfit.

Hi, how far apart can Optimum and Fish Hawk be and still successfully pair? Thank you, Frank

Hi. Doesn’t the constant tension on the rod/reel force the drag/ratchet to let line peel off the reel?

Prices???

Thank you.

Well done guys, Cameron and Jordan are excellent stewards of our sport

Great video but lol that's definitely not Portland or Oregon 😅

I’m assuming this takes a little math skill. Example; Crankbaits to 4ft. My ball is set to 6ft. That’s lure is going to go to 10ft. How did I do? Or will the ball keep it from diving further?
