Thank you. By the way I went to your website, and you have a great looking boat. Good luck this season, and I will take you up on your offer this season.

Thank you Richard, I ran the Cannons when I Chartered out of Sodus in the late 80s, then i ran Big Jon's for a lot of years. like you said, they are all good. What model Cannons do you run today, and do you use the cycle feature at all. tThanks again for your time.

I have been a Big Jon downrigger user for years, ran them hard and never had any trouble. Very reliable. Now I am looking for four new riggers and would welcome your opinions on what you think are the best today and why. Candidates are Cannon Mag 10 Styx Ts, Big Jon Protournaments, or Scotty 2116s. please help me decide.

Experiece. How good on slow troll and quartering seas? Need advice please.

I will come to Watkins Glenn to pick them up at your convenience. Let me know when you have 5 ready to sell. I line in Apalachiin.

Troutman, I will buy four. Where can I pick them up.

Ok thanks. My number is 625-4886. We live close to one another as I see you are from Binghamton. I live in Apalachin. If I am not home please leave a message. I will call you back. Thanks for your reply and offer to help.

Thanks Musky Bob, i do have them and they do help. Can get in the way sometimes and mess up your speed indicator propellers on the transom in cross seas. The safety factor is another good reason as I have towed a number of single engines off that lake at various times. thanks again.

I have an Arima Sea Chaser with a 135 Honda as the main engine. Trouble is that I am having a frustrating issue with the throttle control. The throttle either rests at idle at about 600 rpms or kicks in past that area of play at about 1100rpms. This places the boat speed at 600 at about 1.1 mph and at about 1100 at 3.2mph. As you can see it is very tough to stay in the optimal area of 2.0 to 3.0 in trolling speeds. I am at the decision point of putting a kicker on the back Any suggestions on the throttle and if not, can you lend any experiences or recommendations for setting up a bracket mounted kicker. Panther steering, trollmaster or controllking throttles etc. The Arima has an auxillary motor bracket already mounted on the port side. Thanks in advance for any comments. Bill Wike

Could you advise on the best release to use when running your copper r lead cores out onthe boards. Thanks TRORUN

What is the recommended release to use when hooking up the copper to the planar board line. I" have been looking for a small triangular shaped release that one of the charter captains had on his rig last year. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Trorun
