I like the disconnect on Scotty. I have cannon and the catch is mounted to the boat, not rigger so if I want to remove rigger I have to untie the cord

I've had no problems with my Cannons.

[justtracytrolling]

You can mount the catch to the rigger...

My catch is mounted on the plate that the rigger rod holders are on.

Its hard to tell in that picture, but that might have been taken before I put the Cannon terminator kits on my riggers. The riggers came on the boat with an older terminal kit on them. The weight snap is on the weight hook in this picture.

Gotcha, I thought maybe there was some new fan dangle apparatus on there that I wasn't aware of!!? Thanks for clarifying that. PAP

After looking at the picture on my computer I can confirm that was the old set-up that the previous owner had on them. I cut off 5 or 6ft of cable and added the Cannon terminator kits after this pic was taken. I'll have to see if I can get a better picture of how the catch is mounted to the rigger. All I know is that it works real well.

The Penn manual riggers I have came with a similar set-up as my Cannons, with the catch on the rigger.

I've got one cannon and one scotty.  Both work fine, but the scotty ferrule is getting some grooves worn in it.  No problems with either after more than four seasons.  Catches are mounted to the sides of my Unitroll 10's

[TileMan Dan]

This is how I mounted mine.

[treedude363]

good idea i have cannons also

[Adk1]

I have the same setup. they work great, definatly like the canons

[Egoody]

Couple of questions......

How long is the cord or how much slack do you have in the cord between the rigger cable and where it attaches to the rigger/boat?

Secondly...I don't see how you can run a stacker for a second rod if you want. Am i missing something?

Thanks &

[TileMan Dan]

My cord is just a few inches longer than my boom fully extended. Wouldnt get in way of stacker release.

[Buckmaster7600]

Mine are about a ft longer than the booms so I always put them in the cleat and the excess has never been in the way. No problem stacking with them.

Does it make a hoot what your weight is / ball / fish / torpedo? I ran 12# pancakes last year, I forgot to mount the weight retriever last year and after my lower unit went, I didn't remember/again to bring them along up with me. They worked with 8# pancakes, I'm thinking the torpedo's might be a problem? I hope I'm wrong.

[Buckmaster7600]

I have never had a problem with them and i run 3 different styles regularly.
