MAG Cannon Mag 5 HS Downrigger Questions & Answers
IHAVE A CANNON MAG 5 AND THE CABLE RUST UP ON ME
Corrosion is caused by small amounts of electrical current flow following the path of least resistance and jumping off one piece of metal to another one thus taking a small piece of metal with it when it goes. You have to either eliminate the current flow or slow it down or make it go somewhere else. The positive ion control in these downriggers can probably add to the problem. Also if you're fishing in salt water, it is a natural electrolyte and if two differnt kinds of metal are in saltwater, they creat a natural battery and produce enough electrical current to corrode the metal. I would suggest maybe using a sacrificial anode. It's a piece of metal with lower resistance to electrical current flow than the metal you're trying to use, thus is corrodes the anode before corroding the metal you're protecting. Anodes are made of metals like aluminum, zinc and magnesium. If you had a small piece of one of those metals and wrapped it around the downrigger spool before you wound the cable onto it, it would rust it out before rusting your cable. You can also try turning down your Ion Control. I've seen my cable rusting a little bit but it doesn't seem to be that bad or rust so fast. I'm wondering if you're using a different kind of metal for your cannonball?
A)will not work at all,had
I may be able to suggest a cure for downrigger #1. The switches sometimes have several terminals and they work differently than they look.
For example, if you have 6 terminals, 3 on each side of the switch. The left bottom and right bottom are a pair. The middle two are a pair and the top two are a pair. Then you have terminals that are separate on the right side with the middle terminal being common and the pair being right lower and middle, right upper and middle with corresponding left side action.
This point being that the switch for unit #1 is good as tested by Radio Shack. Its where you stick the wires on the terminals that is the problem.
You need a multitester and use an OHM setting without juice flowing through your wires. This way you can figure out the pairings of the terminals without burning something up.

How do I choose the best fishing reel size for my needs?
Small Spin Reels:
Spinning Reel Size: (1000 or 10)
- Suggested mono: 1-2kg (2-4lb)
- Suggested Braid: 4-8lb
- Common Applications (Guide only): Small fishing reel mostly suited for light fishing in lakes, rivers, bays, harbours etc.
- Popular for fish type (most common species): Bream, Trout, Whiting.
Choosing a fishing rod to go with this size reel: - As the 1000 or 10 sized spinning reel is quite small, a rod you would typically pair this reel to is one with a length of around 6-7 foot that has a fishing line rating of anywhere between 1-4Kg.
Spinning Reel Size: (2000 or 20)
- Suggested mono: 2kg-3kg (4-6lb)
- Suggested Braid: 5-10lb
- Common Applications (Guide only): Small fishing reel mostly suited for light fishing in lakes, rivers, bays, harbours etc.
- Popular for fish type (most common species): Bream, Trout, Whiting, Bass, Flathead, Perch, Luderick.
Choosing a fishing rod to go with this size reel: A 2000 or 20 sized reel being a quite small reel ideally will suit a fishing rod between 6ft - 7ft 6 inches in length that has a line class rating somewhere between 2-5Kg.
Medium Size Spin Reels:
Spinning Reel Size: (4000 or 40)
- Suggested mono: 4kg-6kg (8-12lb)
- Suggested Braid: 8-20lb
- Common Applications (Guide only): Medium fishing reel mostly suited to lakes, rivers, bays, harbours, light offshore boat fishing etc.
- Popular for fish type (most common species): Snapper, Morwong, Tailor, Mangrove Jack, Cod, Bone Fish, Barramundi, Mulloway, Drummer.
Choosing a fishing rod to go with this size reel: A 4000 or 40 reel is where you start to gain a little size so this sized reel will generally suit medium action classes of rods in the 6ft-7ft (barra/snapper style rod) with a line class of around 4Kg-10Kg or in an 8ft-10ft (light surf) rod with a light line class rating of around 3-5Kg. Remember this is a guide only to suggest common applications so by all means you can use this reel for several other applications as well.

How to buy a fishing reel
Depends on what type of fishing your doing. Out of the two the bait caster is the more challenging to do because you control the line going out. That is good for fishing banks, logged areas, spinner bait. If you just want to cast with bobber go with open or closed reel. Hope that helps.

I have a ryobi ad 4000v baitcaster reel won't lock after casting
Hi,
Please breakdown and then reconstruct your baitcaster as according to your manual. During the process, take not of any bent, loose or disfigured components. If none, please use a few practice casts. If still not taking, please call your closest sporting goods or fishing store to ask if they can send out a repair man.
Thank you.
