    Magnum Metalz downriggers

    in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?

    Posted

    Since nobody has used them I figured I'd post. Last week I went out on a limb and bought a Magnum Metalz rigger. I had talked to the owner before buying. One thing that sold me on it was something he said to me. He said "buy the rigger and use it for a week, if you don't like it send it back and I'll refund your money". That's something you can't turn your back to. So I got it in a week and brought it up with me and installed it. It was an easy install on my Traxstech swivels and I put it through 5 days of hell fishing the LOC derby. There's a lot of options when buying it and the speed of the motor was one of them. I have Cannon mag 10 STX and they're fast. Too fast. They're 250ft a minute. The MM's are either 140 or 200fpm. I bought the 140's because to me there's no sense the rigger sitting there swinging while I reel my line in. I could reel my line in and the rigger would be just coming up so I was happy with the 140fpm. The rigger is small and all aluminum. No junk plastic. No broken rodholders. I could swing on them and they won't break or bend. I bought a 2 piece boom and it doesn't flex with a 16lb Shark weight. the swivel head is designed so the wire can't foul in it. The motor is whisper quiet which is a pleasant surprise. I know everyone wants a short stop. Their design for that is to have the clutch slip when the weight comes up. I was a bit nervous setting it up with the probe on that rigger. So at my dock I played with it. It's flawless. The weight comes up, the spring takes what little shock there is and the clutch slips. No issues with the setup on the lake. I'll have to see how the clutch holds up after time but so far  it's works great. All I can say if you're looking for an alternative to what's out there than this might be it. I love mine and I'm buying another this week to replace the other Mag 10.

    Posted · Edited by Total Chaos

    I have a set of Amish Outfitter, redwood planer boards for sale. The green board is the only one I've used. The other has never been in the water. They come with the shock cords as well. They're are collapsible too. $125 Pick up in Westerlo NY. I have a slip on the Little Salmon River. Paypal or cash when you pick them up.

     

    On a side note, don't bother asking about the boards if you really don't want them. Had 2 people from this board say they wanted them so I brought them up to the boat only to bring them back home because I never heard from them again. Only reply if serious, thanks

    Best spoon box????

    After 25 years of wasting money on every brand box and lure pad this is what I settled on. I hang it on the wall in my cabin of my boat. I used Velcro to hold the drawers closed. A small circle of Velcro holds them fine. I label the drawers so I know what's in there. Been using it for 2 years now and I'm quite happy with it. I also use one for all my ATOMMIK flys.

    Downrigger rods for sale.

    Not sure how I wanted to list these as I know you probably won't want all of them. So as a package deal $125 shipped to your door. There's 3, 9ft Ugly Stik  BWD rods,  1, 7ft Ugly Stik, 1, Shimano Triton downrigger rod and 1, 8' Daiwa Great Lakes System downrigger rod. They're used with scratches and line cuts in the grip but they have many more years of life in them. I'll sell the Ugly Stiks separate if that's what you want. PM me with what you want and I'll try to work with you. Pay Pal preferred.
