MAGNUM 10

Having fished Cannon manual downriggers for decades, the MAG 5 ST downrigger is the bomb! Should have bought one a decade or more ago but the manual downriggers are just too easy for freshwater lakes when fishing in the 30-50’ ranges! But then again, no substitute for electric downriggers as they are just so easy to use and the ability to instantly retrieve the downrigger ball with just a push of a button, equipped with water line level stop, when a fish strikes is worth every extra penny! Especially when u r fishing larger species like king salmon or Lakers and u don’t want to risk a lost fish breaking off against your downrigger line.! It just makes clearing downrigger lines from the water so convenient and efficient when there’s a “fish on” that I wish I’d gone the electric route from the very beginning but “you don’t know what you don’t know” when first starting out! The MAG 5 ST ease of use, level stop, and build quality of Cannon downriggers is top shelf! Combine the MAG5 ST with the aftermarket telescopic boom, Cannon p/n 2210821, from Fish307, and you’ve basically got a MAG 10 STX electric downrigger for about $100 less! All the boom parts on the MAG 5 ST can be use to complete the telescopic boom installation so no need for additional parts just purchase the telescopic boom and u r good to go! Use the Blacks Marine adjustable release clip and you can fish braided and standard fishing line interchangeable and you’ve got the best of all worlds! Couple of different options from Blacks pending on how much distance u want from the downrigger ball to the release clip? Available on Amazon. Having used various downriggers from many of the downrigger manufacturers, Cannon downriggers are the “best of the best”! Buy with confidence!

It came fast and works good. Easy to onstall..

Great downrigger good to go just make sure you buy the bottom swivel base it doesn't come with it it should for a few extra dollars they should charge it for it but it doesn't

Just installed it and test it, it works perfectly, basic functionality just loose it to drop the weight and pull the switch up to automatically lift the weight up, it’s amazing we don’t need anything else!

Excelente producto, llego rápido y en alado en su caja original

Llegó todo bien embalado , pero no venía la mariposa para la instalación del portacañas.

Bought 2 magnum 10 STX and they are awesome. The 5 STX doesn't come with a swivel base that's why I opted for the 10 STX that come with a swivel base. The weight stops at the water line every time. Fast up and down, you can slow it by using the clutch but I didn't because it was perfect. I do recommend getting the retro-ease weight retriever or the scotty retriever because reaching over the side of the boat pulling in the 10lbs weight and keeping control of the weight while hooking your line on the clip get a little frustrating at times. After hand cranking the cannon mini for years it's nice to be able to hit the switch and not have one buff arm.

Electric Downrigger works as expected. Easy to set up. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that higher grade Downrigger have but works good for the money. I fish the Great Lakes.

I had 2 cannon mini mag downriggers on my boat. They worked great but the slow retrieval speed was a drawback when fishing deep. I bought one to try and see and I will be buying the second asap. It simply is faster and better. Anyone who has issues with the speed being too fast doesn't have experience using downriggers. And any lost cannon balls were most likely due to improperly terminating the cable. If done correctly this is not an issue. Cannon provides thorough instructions for proper set up. Love it and I highly recommend.

The downrigger works very well. I love how it automatically stops winding when the weight is at the surface. Doesnt seem to use too much power and I havent noticed any real additional drainage of the battery after a days fishing. It is a big unit and surprisingly heavy (about 20 lb). I reinforced the install with some hefty backing plates on the underside of the gunnel. Since the weight stays in the water its can be abit sketchy reaching out into the water to grab the weight or line when the sea it is a bit bumpy. You really need to get a weight retriever. Overall love this downrigger.

hat sehr gut gefallen

Like how this downrigger is set up the on and off switch is easy to do the rod holder is so èasy to get at

I haven't used this much yet but if it works as good as my other cannon rigger which I expect it will it deserves a five rating. Very quick shipping and no problems with ordering from this supplier.
