emergency handles for cannon downriggers

I have older style cannon mag tens, I would like to purchase emergency handle for them but I am unsure how they attach or how well they work?

Good luck finding the.....there are some different designs depending on the age and type of downrigger too. I believethe 10A emergency handles are different than to Mag 10's I wishIhad one for the 10A too.

The last time I hand over hand the wire in, I didn't have gloves the wire cut me all to hell. If it would have been another 50ft of wire down yet!! I would have turned the screw out and turned the holder 180 degrees and gave it a push, that's how mad and bloody I was.

I hold the spool, and back off the hand nut till I can turn the spool by hand. When you get the weight up tightens up the hand nut. While holding the spool.

That would be the sensible thing to do Dave, I was beyond that point being solo with lines out on dipsies yet, I guess it would have made $$ wise more sense to loose the dipsies than a rigger, but rage took over!! I'm much more laxed in my actions in my older more sensible self. LOL PAP.

I  had one of those handles years ago and the day I needed it the dam thing striped out. If I rember right I had gloves and pulled the wire up and my mate hand turned the spool.
