Re: Downriggers
I am also looking for a pair of downriggers and found out a few guys have surrendered their cannon's to mermaids of the deep and then replaced them with scotty's. Something about a design flaw in their mounting system which can cause them to break loose and fall off.<br /><br />I've also found lot's more parts, accessories, etc. offered by cannon but just because they are more popular, doesn't necessarily make them better.<br /><br />Scotty is manufactured on the West coast and therefore have a stronger prescence out there than here in the East. However, I have noticed some major distributers such as Cabela's now offering scotty. <br /><br />I sometimes fish with my small children and also like the enclosed feature of the scotty cable reel which can keep fingers out of places where they shouldn't be. I think I'm going for the scotty.
