adrenalin Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I had Big Jons on the last boat and they where decent. But on the new boat I got Cannon Mag 10's and think they are alot better. I like auto stop on the cannons better, telescoping booms, and no swivel pulleys. The motors have more power also.
sjk984 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 We have had mag 10's and old digitroll 2 from the 90's. We sold the mag 10 and the digiterolls are awsome. So I guess if I ever have to replace them it will be with some more cannons.
MY2SONS Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Cannons for sure. I have two digi-troll IV's on my rig, and I just added a new Mag 10 for this year. They're pretty tough, and I like the telescoping booms. The ability to program the digi-trolls is a sweet feature. The auto stop on the Mag 10 is pretty nice too.
BIGTREBLE Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Big Jons. I had Mag 10's on the new boat(They came with them) after the season, sold them and put on my old Big Jon. Had way to much trouble the switches and I did not like the swivle bases. My Big Jons are bullet proof, also got help from them dirctely when I had questions about thier auto stop.
N II Deep Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I have an older set of Cannons Digitaltrol II, I like the auto/up/stop function. a little slow, but I bought them used 2 years ago to get me started. I'll keep using them until they puke.
mattmishler Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Im a big jon fan. I like to be able to see what my cannon ball is doing on on bottom when im fishing for trout. Cant be a michigan co either. The new brute ES are plain out sweet, fast, strong and have a tip up base which is always a plus.
jay d Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 big jons,my elec. captains packs have been great and i just added a pair of brutes:thumb:
flyman013 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I like my Cannons. Had Big Jons when I bought the boat, but I think they were the cheapest version Big Jon made. The Cannons were a step up and have loved them ever since.
allout280 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 :thumb:Iguess i am the outcast. scottys telo booms no cable on side rigger power pro 15 pound sharks no blow back no power going down and they flatt out fly up .coated cable on chute rigger wih 20 lb sharks..
DIRTY DOG Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I like Cannons , can't beet the speed and auto stop.Ive had Big Jons and did not care for the slower speed, no auto stop and the way the booms flex. Just my 2 cents.
adrenalin Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 The other thing I didn't like about big jons was the counter, I was constantly adjusting it, at least every other trip. My cannons are 3 years old and they haven't moved an inch.
killerbe20 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Vectors! I love them! love their low profile, rod holders, motors, overall design and they are bullet proof. The only problem i have ever had was the clutch knob falling out of my hand into the drink. Cant wait to see what Traxstech makes of them. They are supposed to have a digital counter and features similar to the Cannon Digitrolls, but honestly i hope they keep a simplistic electric model as well.I had Cannons previously but hated how massive they were, especially on a smaller boat. They did perform flawlessly for me but i did not like the plastic parts. This stuff can be subject to a lot of abuse no matter how careful you are, plastic is not for me on a charter boat.
ITOFlies Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 For us it is cannons but since cannon worked with our radio show and gave us a really SWEET deal I guess it is a no brainer!
strik Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 walkers are top for me love how steady they are over ten years no issues with them. Have used cannon however they were old so cant realy compair Have two big johns hate the flex in them also have had issues with the counters but they were on the boat when i got it and they will work I wish the walker would improve the rod holders this year i`m going to try to put a pair of big john rod holders on my walkers
KJ pluggin Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I wish the walker would improve the rod holders this year i`m going to try to put a pair of big john rod holders on my walkersI agree, Walker needs to upgrade their rod holders.
