[. . . ] From this successful transplant, new fishing techniques and equipment were developed. one such method was controlled depth fishing which enabled fishermen to place a lure at a desired depth by utilizing downriggers. Because of the varying factors (water temperature, thermocline, weather, tides, time of day, or time of year) it is necessary for successful fishing to maintain specific water depths that coincide with fish movements and feeding patterns. This allows the angler to control as well as return to specific depths where fish have been caught. [. . . ] All metal parts including the hull (if metal) must be interconnected by a grounding wire. If your boat and zincs are set up correctly, the voltage on the stainless steel downrigger wire of your Mag 20 DT should be positive when in contact with the water. The following tips can be useful: Use Cannon vinyl coated lead weights. This will also ensure that the trolling weight will stop at water level when retrieved. In saltwater, make sure the sacrificial zincs are replaced when half dissolved. This ensures that the boat will run with a neutral or slightly positive charge. This will help ensure proper PIC voltage on the cable and that the Short Stop will function properly. Connecting to the Battery: It is strongly recommended that a fuse or manual-reset circuit breaker be installed at the battery on the positive lead of the power cable or that you connect the downrigger to a battery selector switch. (See Fuse and Wire Specifications) Connect the positive lead (RED) to the (+) post on your battery or the downrigger will not operate. Use the new quick disconnect plug to remove the downrigger without touching the battery. NOTE: It is strongly recommended to power your Mag 20 DT with a Deep-Cycle marine battery. The reel set screw allows the circuit path to be made through the structure of the downrigger. Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the cable strain caused by bouncing weights or weights hitting the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep the weight from hitting the boat hull. If a boat is properly bonded and properly zinced, that charge should be slightly positive when measured from ground to the downrigger cable. Positive Ion Control (PIC) is the use of electricity to control that charge and its fluctuation so that it is always maintained at a specified set voltage. The practice of setting up and maintaining a slight positive charge on fishing gear has been used by commercial fishermen for many years. This practice has enabled some fisherman to increase yield when used along with other good fishing and boating practices. Cannon's electric downriggers offer fishermen a big advantage in being able to stabilize and control the positive charge around their boat. Because of the Lexan® construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are insulated from your boat's hull charge. When the stainless steel downrigger cable is lowered into the water, the natural ionization between the cable and the boat creates a positive charge of 0. This natural voltage is dependent upon salinity and mineral content of the water. [. . . ] When fish short strike, slap at lures without becoming hooked, adding a stinger hook can solve the problem. Simply tie a treble hook to one end of a four inch piece of monofilament and then tie the extra hook to the last gang of hooks on your lure. Hooks get dull through both use and misuse, and probably more fish are lost to dull points than anything else. Tous les Mag 20 DT possèdent les fonctions suivantes avec le CannonLink de Cannon seulement : Réglage de la tension PIC en 1/10e de volt Réglage de la profondeur (pieds ou mètres) Vitesses de descente et de remontée réglables Mode de cycle; comprend la profondeur minimale, la profondeur maximale et le temps de la profondeur Le mode de suivi du contour du fond comprend la hauteur des vagues et la distance du fond La fonction Haut tous (All up) (permet de faire remonter tous les poids à la surface immédiatement) La hauteur d'immobilisation (permet de régler des hauteurs individuelles d'immobilisation de la boule au-dessus de l'eau) L'alarme de débranchement qui retentit si le câble de fonctionnement à distance est débranchée accidentellement Le Mag 20DT communique à l'aide d'une interface standard à isolation optique NMEA 0183.
