1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT PURCHASE..POORLY MADE, April 23, 2010

BOTH of my mini-troll manual downriggers broke within 2 fishing trips. In very calm conditions, they broke at the handle and with gentle winding. Basically, the downrigger is very poorly designed and the handle cannot take ANY torque at all. One of mine snapped at the handle..the other broke a big piece off of the actual top spool cover. A big chunk just snapped with a 4lb weight while gently winding. Even worse, Cannon WILL NOT refund you, only replace the piece of garbage with another piece of garbage.

Seriously, these are the worst fishing products I have EVER purchased. BUYER BEWARE.I warned you.

I purchased my down-rigger last year for a fishing trip to a lake in Canada. It worked fine. It felt a little wobbly, but after a little practice and always making sure it was snugly attached to the boat, it worked fine. I did add a small wood block between the boat and the clamp to better secure the down-rigger. I eventually used it to down rig two poles and caught fish at both levels. I used an 8-pound weight and managed to troll it into the ground once or twice and there was no problem -- it has a "controlled" drag based on how tight you secure the screw. For the money it works great. I plan on buying another this year to run one on each side of the boat. I recommended it to other friends IF they want to keep the cost down and don't plan on making a living with this. If you're going to go fishing once, twice etc -buy it otherwise double (or more) the cost and get a longer term investment.
