Walker Downriggers
« on: Mar 19, 2017, 10:45 AM »
Does anyone know anything about these or does anyone have one. If so, how are they in comparison to Cannon/ Big Jon electrics?

I have a one Walker and 4 Cannon all manual and 30 years old the Walker is a nice downrigger, it is a portable that can be attached to a transom or gunnel.  I like the line counter set up on it better than the Cannons.  I also like Walker releases for fishing in all water types.  I don't know about the electrics, my brother has all Cannons.

Over the years I've used walkers , cannon , and proos now (sovereign ) which all worked nicely with no complaints, far as releases have used walkers (LR) and roemers (Xl-7)with  no problems

That's what my dad got on his new boat, didn't like them and got new Scotty's. I used them both and the Scotty's are much better. The cheesy spring setup on the Walker that runs the depth meter not so good. You can probably pick then up cheap if you take him fishing ;D

I had two electric walkers and liked them but then I found the Cannon Digitrol IVs. No comparison but I think other than the Digitrol IVs They probably are on the same level as the rest.
