Very nice video. The animations are elegant and smooth and everything is explained in a concise, easy-to-understand manner. Thanks for posting!

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.

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.*

[@louisaugust1815]

simple and easy explanation - thanks !

[@erickgates8288]

Excellent description and instruction! Was trying to explain to a non fisherman... This was the perfect graphic I needed! 👍

[@cannondownriggers1811]

Thank you for the kind words. Happy fishing!

[@anajay78]

Nice video, I always wanted to know how a down rigger worked

[@leeconstant7261]

awesome I was wondering how they worked. I moved to kelowna bc and hear people talking about using down riggers for lake Trout.

[@tehpanuychikon168]

Wow! Now I know.Thank You for the clip.So informative.Greetings from Mexico 👍

[@HIMEESE]

so that's how they work! thx!

[@DrHavok1]

Thanks... Lol I'm going to show this to my brother cause he thinks a down rigger reels in your fish for you

[@pbgd3]

Ha - I suppose if you didn't use a release clip it could but it won't come up fast enough to set the hook.

[@hmglor]

excellent animation!!

[@clydeortiz5695]

Thanks for the information, my dad and I have always wonder how they worked

[@JohnSmith-jr5ly]

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.

This is just a video on using a down rigger.

[@davidcalcagno4394]

Can u teach me because I’m 18 restoring a boat and want to learn to use one

[@Marioguajardo3167]

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

[@fishinginutah4697]

Thanks for your video, I live in Salt Lake City, how can I find those clips on Amazon, are they okay with the lead? with what name can I find them?

[@miladelmukahal4967]

Thank you.

[@paoxiong2575]

Now I should try that on my kayak. :)

[@bluegill2030]

Is it a good idea to replace the cable with braided line instead?

[@cannondownriggers1811]

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.

[@edkonvang]

great video! i wonder people that use downrigger always catch fish...lol

[@funfishing1267]

I want it, how to buy

[@rick101366]

I talked to a lot of people and they said 30-50 ft back from the weight , is that the ball park your in too?

[@kirill_gusev]

now I need one :) Thanks !

[@skrewflanders]

I run a set of the sport trolls on my boat, love mine.

[@geraldtompkins2239]

can this down rigger be stacked

[@Skatectk]

totally getting one

[@rosssaylor7412]

well done video

[@Hazardbone]

Is it trolling or trauling?

[@trustnobody1281]

I wonder how far u should keep your lure away from the weight when u troll

[@carminattiification]

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

[@joepatterson4762]

Though i love this, the thought of sitting there and reeling down and giving slack every 10 seconds seems ridiculous. I'd think you just let it ride and be on that rod quick or throttle the boat hard if it pops on the higher depth.

[@bernyandriani2514]

scusate volevo sapere se della versione troll 5 ts oltre il cannon link è possibile montarlo con scarpetta dedicata?

[@cannondownriggers1811]

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.

[@bernyandriani2514]

Thanks

[@davefoff]

Ted Beneke?

[@dawsondeboer9604]

You keep your lure about 30-50 ft away fromt he weight

[@Hungry_Tree_Ghost]

I was scrolling to see if anyone else had said this before I was going to.

[@silverback7659]

Depends on the death of the water. If I'm only fishing 10 ft below the boat I let about 80 or 100ft

[@milo1102]

no its smart

[@richardrowlands4705]

this looks like cheating
