bluesky1713 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 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? No. 1038 Cable Coupler http://www.scotty.com/fishing-gear-equipment/downrigger-accessories/terminal-kits-stopper-beads.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I have not tried those ones. I have used just a heavy snap swivel (300lb or so) without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I like Cannon's swagless ends myself. http://store.cannondownriggers.com/products/324727/Terminator_Single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NANUK Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Another vote for Cannon, very good & strong connection. no sleeves, no crimping, no loose cable strands to poke your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I use the #1151 Scottys, double crimped with the tag end doubled back and hidden inn the second crimp, no stabbing with fine wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesky1713 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Any idea where I could pick up one of those Cannon Singles? (Parry Sound) Canadian Tire here has nothing like that. Maybe Barrie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Tromblys Tackle in Orillia or Epps north of Orillia a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desship Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I switched to the Klincher . Can be bought at Le Baron or Shortwave no tools required under 4 bucks similar to cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
