Buying Downriggers

Lipripper · 08-31-2001, 12:59 PM

I have always fished Cannon. Have one electic and one manual. Know some of my fishing budies have Walker and Penn. Maybe it's that I'm used to my Cannons but I don't much care for anything else.

Saltine,
I like the Scotty downriggers, and sice they are made in Canada yoyu can get some really good deals on htem, you can get 2 scotty's if you order them from there for the price of 1 here! Here is a site I know you can get a good deal from http://www.berrysbait.com

It's true. The Canadian dollar is weak relative to the US dollar and the price is good. Call em for the clearest information on prices/shipping etc. Your credit card will make the currency exchange.

The electric Scotty works great.

Saltine, you'll find lots of good information using the search tool using the word downriggers. I've attached a link to just one of many old threads about downriggers.

I'm looking to pick up a couple electric downriggers for my sled. Any info on someone with great prices or an online site would be great. I've been to Outdoor Emp so I have a baseline to work from.
Also, If one brand of electrics are better than another, that would be great info. Anything I should look out for?

Thanks,

Steve
