cannon or Bert's rod holders?
sherman brown replied to Force of one's topic in Tackle and Techniques
all the ratchet holders ratchet up the same. what makes the cannon better is the one handed lowering of the holder. on the traxstech you have to pull the pin with one hand while lowering the holder with the other. on the cannon you just squeeze and lower with one hand. however i do like the 17 adjustments up and down on the traxstech holders. -

Mag 10 weight rating
sherman brown replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
i would guess with auto stop and adjustable booms there newer than 2006. but you can go to cannondownriggers.com and go to support then click on contact for there phone number or send them an email. it would be best if you have the serial numbers. i would just give them a quick call. that way your talking to someone. -
i just use a uni to uni knot for connecting all my lines, never had one fail. if you don't know how to tie a uni to uni go to youtube or just google it. a crimp could and probably would weaken your line. the only time i've seen a crimp was where heavy line was used that wasn't practical to tie a knot.

Mag 10 weight rating
sherman brown replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
you can contact cannon and ask them. i was using 13# on my big jon's and the breaker would kick out at times. called big jon and he said they was rated at 12#. but send it in for repair that it shouldn't be having a problem with 13#. but i switched to 12# and it hasn't happened again. i would say you wont have a problem at all with 12#. probably rated at least 15# anyway. -

What size deeper diver
sherman brown replied to hookedupf7's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
i used the 107 for awhile and liked them much better than a dipsy. but now i use the lite bite slide diver rigged like a dipsy. the lite bite is great for smaller fish on Erie. -
What is the best net for landing Salmon
sherman brown replied to Dad with Twin boys's topic in Open Lake Discussion
Beckman all the way for a great salmon net. we went up to Manistee last fall without a net. found the Beckman in a bait shop in Ludington mi. it was like 139.00 in the bait shop but well worth the money. -
Down Rigger reels
sherman brown replied to steelfire's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
i walleye fish Erie and use convector reels on my riggers. -
i recommend the 5225 xt for all your radio needs. a good antenna isn't a must but you'll never regret going to the 5225 xt. i'm using a step up now. i opted for the 5399 which is a 9'6" 2 piece antenna. the higher the antenna the better it works.

go as heavy as the rigger is rated for. unless its rated for 20# or something. i like 13# pancake weights for my big jons. i would go no lighter than 12# as long as my rigger was rated that heavy. you can get good buys off ebay.

Sold / Closed Big john riggers 150.00 each
sherman brown replied to hard knox's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
a good used big jon rigger with swivel base is well worth 150.00. just the swivel base new will cost close to 150.00 each. -
i've had tires cup on trailer tires as well as auto tires over the yrs. each time i had them replaced i made sure they were balanced. it cured the problem each time. so many people dont think they need balanced. so it doesnt get done. and by the time its noticed its usually to late. i check my hubs every time i stop to see if they are running hot. while i'm there i also check the tires for heat and look for any problems with the tire.

Anyone use a planer with a Dipsy!
sherman brown replied to Private's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
you are definitely doing something wrong. i run 2 riggers with 6 dipsies and never get tangled in the riggers. i only run 25' leads on my riggers. then i run my divers set on 3 in the front set on 2 in the middle set on 1 in the back. but if you put one out on the right thats set for left it will cross the lines, i have done this a few times when we had a fire drill back when i 1st started using divers. i have now switched to the lite bite slide divers set on 1.5 in the back 3.0 in the middle then 4.5 in the front. i also use daiwa sg17lca reels on the left side of the boat. and i use daiwa sg17lc3b reels on the right side to keep from putting them out on the wrong side. -
