Best weight retrievers

[markmonkey1]

What do you like?

I heard the Scotty retrievers can wear coated rigger cable (I.e. depth raider coating).

Any others I should look at? I am done almost falling into the drink reaching out for the weights!!!

The ones from cannon seem fine. Never hurt a coated probe that I have seen

I have used connon for yrs never hurt the coated cable

I never used them on coated cables but the ones buy cannon where on when I bought riggers and still going strong even with the one side I have a 16# torpedo on, the other side I have a 12#er on. Even though I haven't fished lake O much the last 2 years they still get used on my home lake, for example I'm experimenting with green lights and affix these to my riggers to try different depths to see what happens at different depth, but using the 4"-6" alewives out of the lake has improved my fishing dramatically, from the Dead Sea to 3 walleye a night trips with lots of bass. Oops I didn't mean to hijack your post. Sorry pap, but I wanted to spill the beans on my adventure!!!

I went too west marine. Bought some pullies used for sail boat rigging. Like 9 bucks each. Been on my Scottie's for 14 yrs . Coated cable works fine.

Just gotta pinch the top together so the cable doesn't jump. Been awesome!!!!!!!

I've been using the Traxstech planer reterievers on my scottys for years the autostop beads fit through them fine.

I just installed two cannon weight retrievers they seem to work great

[bout time]

I prefer the cannons for coated cables as they have a pulley and the pulley takes most the wear out of the coated cable. The other brands work but actually slide against the cable eventually wearing it down

The Cannons don't work if you have riggers that have an autostop mechanism in line like the Scottys with the autostop beads or big jons with the autostop magnets on the cable.

The Traxstech planer tow line retriever pullys I mentioned have a large enough gap in them that the beads fit through them.
