Hi all,
Was wondering, for those that use them, if you run wire in them or braid?
I have wire and hate it. I have lost weights due to weak spots.
Would love to use braid...
I’ve got Cannon Electric Tournament Series Downriggers. They came with wire and I found them to be nothing but a pain in the ass. Rerigged then with Cabela’s Downrigger Braid and it was a total game changer. Love them now....
correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t the Canons have the positive ion control or is that certain models? If they do, the ion control will not work with braid. I use stainless wire on my Scotty’s only because I have seen what happens when you wrap that braid up in a prop. It’s very hard to get untangled and the stainless will break. You do need to change the stainless when you start seeing frayed line or kinks need to be cut and new terminal put on, but I usually get 2-3 years out of my wire, if I don’t have rookies or the wife trying to get the ball out and not keeping tension on the line which will cause the line to twist and kink.
