  1. Yes, I couldn't agree more on marking the boards. It would be very interesting to see where they end up.

    The board i lost was a new starboard walleye board. It was calm out and we had a screamer hit the 300 copper and the braid broke. I assume, being we had a green horn that set that side up, something was rigged wrong because we watched this thing get sucked right under the water and should have slid right off. We set a waypoint and circled hoping it would surface and nothing. I had high hopes of a great story finding the board with a fish still hooked:D

  2. There is a difference in the motors between the captains pack and the pro tournament riggers. I am not sure what they recommend with the captains pack as far as a maximum. Like Nick said, give them a call and they will be happy to answer your question.

  3. Here is my open opinion. Cannons seem to be a nice rigger and have some collaboration advantages that make them unique and they are fast on retrieval and also taut a 20# weight capacity, however that weight capacity and durability from a long term perspective is questionable in my opinion with a telescopic boom and composite plastic body. The advantages i see for Big Jon are their durability which is unparalleled by any company as well as any issues are taken care of by these guys in a time frame that will amaze you and have you back fishing in no time and as you mentioned the made in michigan stamp helps. The disadvantage that Big Jon has, other than the brute series which has adjustable speed settings up to 250 ft per min, is that they are not quite as fast as a cannon, but in my opinion durability and the service factor alone made my decision an easy one with Big Jon.

    I forgot to mention that it is not uncommon for Big Jon to call a wear and tear issue out under warranty between 5 and 10 years after purchase and that is tough to beat

  4. The peds will mount to a track plate. It is the same recessed screw attachment as it is with the regular plates. Big jon will get you set with anything you need.....these guys are extremely helpful and they will have the stuff out to you in no time at all. You will love the duals i have a set on each side.
