Cannon STX swivel base bolt pattern

[Patriot]

Anyone know if the new STX models have the same bolt pattern as the older swivel bases? The Mag 5 doesn't come with the swivel base but its the same speed motor. From what I've read, the only difference is the swivel base and extending boom. If you don't need the boom and you already have the bases, why pay 550 for a mag10 when you can get a mag5 for 350, right?

The bases are a different style ( you can NOT take a older rigger and slide it in a new base ) but I put them on the old swivel bases so pattern is the same . Getting the right length bolt  is the biggest problem.

Yes the old swivel base's will work. You just need the section that the rigger itself locks In to, which is provided with the rigger when purchased if I'm not mistaking.

The base that comes with the 5s do fit on the old swivels. The long booms from the old mags also fit the new 5s.

Just replaced this summer my old Cannon electric with the new Digi Troll. The deck bolt pattern is the same, so I just replaced the old base with the new one. Hope this helps!

At some point I will be selling the old rigger for parts.

So I guess thats a good thing, until they figure out people are swaping parts around.

Thanks guys

Or maybe it's their way of offering the average fisherman the same body everyone else buying at a low price given you have all the other accessories. To the OP everything will fit nicely. Enjoy the new riggers, and wait until you see how fast they are!
