Info On new Cannon DT 5

[sjk984]

I am looking at upgrading from my old DT 2's.

I have a few questions for someone that has them or a Sponsor.

1.) Can I preprogram a depth for the ball to stop at automatically?

2.) Is the cannon link compatible with 5 series HB fishfinders?

3.) Does the Dt 5 have the jig function that the old ones do?

4.) How do you like them ?(please no product bashing) or plugging I am staying with cannons

Thanks Steve

1.) No

2.) Compatible Humminbird fishfinders include 700, 800, 900*, 1100 and Matrix series. *Only compataible with the following 900 Series products. 917C, 955c, 957c, 958c, 958c DI, 967C 3D, 997c SI, 998c SI

3.) Cannon Link compatible - control up to six downriggers at once from your Humminbird fishfinder. CannonLink lets you cycle your Digi-Troll 5 up and down, bottom track, raise and lower the weight, or adjust Positive Ion control.

4.) We have the DT10s. We ran them all of last year and this year. They've held up well. We use them 3-4 days a week from April-September. There were some quirks they worked out last year due to the entire line being completely overhauled.

If you don't have a compatible Humminbird I would just go with the DT10s and have all the features you want on the rigger. Otherwise, you need to buy a Humminbird and the CannonLink to get the DT5s to do what you want. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
