Scotty Downrigger Cable Coupler

[bluesky1713]

Just wondering whether anyone has used the Scotty Cable Coupler product as the terminal kit for their downrigger cable? Is it any good? Am I better off with the conventional metal terminal kit?

I have not tried those ones. I have used just a heavy snap swivel (300lb or so) without any problems.

I like Cannon's swagless ends myself.

Another vote for Cannon, very good & strong connection. no sleeves, no crimping, no loose cable strands to poke your hands.

I use the #1151 Scottys, double crimped with the tag end doubled back and hidden inn the second crimp, no stabbing with fine wire.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

Any idea where I could pick up one of those Cannon Singles? (Parry Sound)

 

Canadian Tire here has nothing like that. Maybe Barrie?

Give Tromblys Tackle in Orillia or Epps north of Orillia a call.

Do you just need one?? or two?

 

Send me a PM with your name and address. I've gotta hit the post office tomorrow anyhow! .. already photocopied the "how to" diagram from inside the kit lid for you.

I switched to the Klincher . Can be bought at Le Baron or Shortwave no tools required under 4 bucks similar to cannon.

Have you tried Diver's Nook on Bowes? He has some tackle in there.
