The heavy snow in November crushed my 5 year old Double Bull Blind. I was going to put it to the curb, but something told md to google for repair advice. I found out that they are guaranteed for life, one quick phone call to the folks at Primos and the parts I needed were shipped out to me. I had to pay shipping. Took me about a half hour to make the repairs using the instructions they sent.
Very pleased!!

One more reason to get paid before you leave the dock!

Snedden hooked me up!! Paid him on Monday, has items on Tuesday!

My strategy during this collapse was to follow Yankee around and pick up his road kill.
In my opinion the fishermen are the least of the threats to the survival of the salmon population.
I also think the hatchery was up to something fishy several years ago resulting in the lower numbers. I heard a plausible explanation taking into account the harsh winter as well.
Next season will be great!

Yes, he was using the Moonshine Shiver Minnow, a jig designed for ice fishing. Has become a hot casting jig as well.

Click "Like" if you have caught fish on these lures!!

I can say that the Taloras and TDR's have both served me well. My Taloras have over 800 days on them. I use the medium 8' ones. Taloras are graphite, TDR's are fiberglass, they have different feels to them. The TDR's are good to, but they are not Talora quality. I use TDR's for my coppers, as they are great fiberglass work horses.
All that said my next downrigger rods will be custom "Short sticks" from Ernie Langtine.

Ever see the viral video of the small 4 point trying to mount a teenage girl? I'm thinking there is a reason. It seems to me that the scents of hormones is more pervasive to the deer than the scent of human. That said, 50% of the times that I've taken a dump in the woods.....I've had deer come by to check me out. I'm thinking it's a scent thing because my fat ___ is not as sexy as Ray's!

Yes....you've had enough.....put her up for the winter. Get her to a good mechanic.....get it fixed and get back at it next year!
-
You will miss many good fishing days on Lake Ontario if you cancel on a forecast.
-
The best boat to own is one you pay cash for!
The season is wrapping up now....save $100 for the next 35 weeks and buy one in the spring.
That's my 2 cents.

We've run these rod holders both in a track and on our downriggers. In 4 seasons we've never had a pin slide out. However, I have had one get crushed from the insane Genny surge in April when it went under the dock. There is a black piece that is part of the ratcheting system on the holder which is meant to be the break away piece in case of rough play. We have broken a few of those, but that's there so the pins and the rest of the holder don get damaged.
That being said. I have had some of the holders get sloppy. This is easily fixed by pulling it apart and tightening down the hardware, and adding a little lok-tite. It's actually a good thing, because it gets you in there so you can lube up the moving parts.
I also want to clarify that to my knowledge, and I am going to obtain the answer from my contact at Cannon, everything is made and assembled right here in the USA. I know all the downriggers are, so I have no reason to believe the rod holders aren't.
Every product has it's kwerks, and nothing is perfect. I can tell you Cannon customer service is great! The Cisco's you speak of are also great rod holders. We ran them for 3 or 4 seasons. However, we did have one snap on us during that time frame.
The box mine came in says......MADE IN CHINA

Yes Ray......it is interesting especially when multiple experiences provide evidence of an issue.
-
It happens on the single axis also . Not much metal at that spot and the roll pins seem soft . I peened them to make a flair at the ends hope this works . Nice unit but made in China . Still have Berts on our other boat USA manufacture the hardware seems to be of better quality .
New to track stuff....liked the looks of the cannons.....should have known better.....if cisco made a ratchet holder it would be a done deal....I'll have to look closer at the Burt's!
-
Great I just switched over to these from the Bert's. Guess I'll keep an eye out for this.
Not being to familiar with the holders (just put on the boat and have used them once) I'm thinking to keep the pin from coming out maybe a center punch on the edge of the hole will help keep it in place.
I'll check it out next time I pull the boat out.
Any chance you could post a picture up of exactly where the issue is?
Thanks,
Spike
Spike,
I'll work on a pic.....I think if you could pean over the ends of the pin you may prevent the problem.
-
Ive never had the problem that you are mentioning. I run the Dual Axis holders all over my boat. And they have withstood dipsy hits by slob kings, steelies, and lakers. Maybe you got a lemon or something. If you want to get rid of your rod holders let me know. Ill take them off your hands.
I tend to use things like this a little more than most....but I will sell 10 of them to you for a total of $800 .... If you care to put your money where your mouth is..... Call me and they are yours...716-560-2878

There are 2 pressed in pins that hold the ratchet handle in. Due to quality control and design flaws these pins work there way partially out and when the next fish hits the dipsy on the holder and you grab the rod the thin aluminum that holds the pin rips and the holder becomes a $100 paperweight.
This happened with one already and would have happened to a second one today.....
