Cannon MAG 5 ST Electric Downrigger *Remanufactured
Cannon MAG 5 ST Electric Downrigger *Remanufactured — Product description
Imagine slicing through the water with lightning-fast line retrieval, keeping your lures precisely at depth without the hassle of manual cranking. The Cannon MAG 5 ST Electric Downrigger delivers that edge for serious anglers chasing walleye, salmon, or stripers. Remanufactured to meet original specs, this powerhouse combines rugged build quality with innovative tech, ensuring reliable performance trip after trip. Whether you're upgrading your setup or replacing a worn unit, its blend of speed, safety, and fish-finding smarts makes it a standout choice for trolling enthusiasts.
Blazing Retrieval Speed That Gets You Back in the Action
At 250 feet per minute, this downrigger boasts the quickest spool-up in its class, letting you reposition fast during active bites or changing conditions. No more watching your weight climb agonizingly slow while fish scatter. Pair that with the intuitive three-digit depth counter, and you'll dial in exact depths every time—from 10 feet for suspended crappies to 100-plus for deep-water kings.
Short-Stop: Your Boat's Best Friend on Rough Days
Choppy waters and swinging weights spell trouble for gelcoat and props. Hit the Short-Stop button, and it smartly reels in your cannonball, halting right at the waterline. This feature alone saves countless headaches, letting you focus on fighting fish instead of dodging hardware. It's a game-changer for solo anglers or those running multiple rods.
Positive Ion Control for an Invisible Fish Magnet
Fish sense electrical fields, and your boat emits negative ions that can spook them. This downrigger counters with positive ions along the cable, creating an enticing energy zone that draws predators closer. Anglers report more strikes in spread-out patterns, turning average days into limits. Combine it with the included line release, and your baits deploy seamlessly without tangles.
Built to Withstand the Harsh Marine Environment
Cannon's Edge Design shines here: fewer moving parts mean less maintenance, while one-piece composite housing shrugs off impacts. The 24-inch heavy-duty stainless steel boom extends reach without flex, and the IP68-rated power cord laughs at submersion. Add corrosion-resistant materials, easy-access spool for quick line swaps, and an integrated ball storage hook, and you've got gear ready for saltwater spray or freshwater grit. Dual-axis adjustable rod holder keeps rods secure and at the perfect angle.
Versatile Setup for Any Boat
The fixed mounting base installs cleanly on transoms or rails, supporting up to 20 pounds of weight—plenty for most trolling scenarios. It ships with 250 feet of 150-lb test stainless steel cable, so you're rigged and ready from day one. Remanufacturing ensures every component is inspected, tested, and backed by a full year's coverage, delivering like-new reliability.
Pro Tips to Maximize Your MAG 5 ST Performance
- Depth Strategy: Start shallow during low-light periods, then drop deeper as the sun climbs. Use the counter to log productive zones for future trips.
- Multi-Rod Runs: Mount two units side-by-side for stacked trolling—run shallow divers off one, deep spoons off the other.
- Windy Days Hack: Engage Short-Stop before turns to prevent swings, especially with heavier balls.
- Cable Care: Rinse after saltwater use and inspect for frays annually to keep ions flowing strong.
Easy Maintenance for Long-Term Dominance
Keep it humming with simple routines: flush the spool area with fresh water post-use, lubricate pivot points sparingly with marine grease, and store indoors during off-seasons. Accessible switches and plugs make troubleshooting a breeze—no tools needed for most checks. This low-fuss design means more time on the water, less in the shop.
