Wanted Dipsey Diver Trolling rods -2
sherman brown replied to muskyman's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
you dont need dipsy rods they are to stiff for me. and only using the small divers i would go with a light or med/light downrigger rod. just something cheap works great for trolling. if the rigger rods are a little to long go to a med/light 8' wilderness trolling rod from fishusa.com, they are around 20.00 each. -
if your looking for something with a higher gear ratio you might like the okuma convector cv 30ds high speed reels. they have like a 6.2 to 1 ratio.

cannon or Bert's rod holders?
sherman brown replied to Force of one's topic in Tackle and Techniques
i can see where anyone would be upset with a holder that the main pin failed on. i didn't read the post as good as i should have. i thought it was the pin that adjusts the left right movement. i would be very concerned if my warranty had expired. if it was just one holder it could be a bad holder. but i would be sure and check for any wear or damage to the rest of my holders as you already have one ready to fail. have you thought about using a ss screw or bolt and going all the way through with a nut on the end. keep us posted as to cannon's response to your email. -
cannon or Bert's rod holders?
sherman brown replied to Force of one's topic in Tackle and Techniques
i've been using my cannon single axis for about 12 yrs now with no trouble from any of them. i just hate leaning out over the side of the boat and pulling a rod from the holder with a fish on the line. just grad and lift on the cannon single axis and it ratchets to the upright position then i lift the rod up out of the holder. -

that pin is for the up down pivot not the left right pivot. all the ratcheting holders has to have a hinge pin for the up down motion. i was referring to the pin in the double axis that's used for adjusting the left right motion. this pin will let you move the holder from one pin hole to the next which might be to far or not far enough and this pin fails where as the up and down pin doesn't seem to be a problem on the single axis holders. just loosen the base and adjust as much or as little as you want then tighten it down on the single axis. -

the biggest difference is in the base. the duel axis is square and adjusts left/right from pin hole to pin hole which at times can be to far or not enough. the single axis has an oval base and can be adjusted left/right as little or as much as you want up to 70 degrees. just get the holder where you want it and tighten it down. if you need to go 1/16" just loosen a little adjust and tighten back down. i've had both and like the single axis the best. i have the single axis. if you want to know where i got them on the cheap just message me and i'll try to save you a little money.. i would just post it but i dont remember off hand and i'm not on the server that has my favorites listed. , -
the answer to all your problems is the med action 9' ugly stik gx2 rod. its light action but has enough backbone to hold up to 30# braid in salt water. dont lets its durability fool you its rated from 4# to 20#. so it light enough for crappin but will handle saltwater reds.

Wanted wanted roller rods
sherman brown replied to sherman brown's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
i don't have any need for the 9'6" rods. i want 4 of the same size. if i could use them i would take them. actually i would rather have 7'6" or 7' but i'll go with 8'6" if i can get them. -

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.

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. -
