Which downrigger do you prefer? Scotty or Cannon?

[Full Freezer]

I will be purchasing a downrigger soon & would like feedback advice as to which is best.

I will buy an electric one but I'm uncertain which one to buy. Obviously durability & performance are top priorities to consider. Is a Cannon Mag20 really worth the price??

What options should I get?

Don't own any big downriggers, but previous threads have led me the conclusion that if you're in the market for a good offshore downrigger and can afford it, shop around for the best buy on a Scotty Electric. Apparantly you can't go wrong. Good luck! :smile:

Had Cannon Mag 20's.....didn't care for them. Have had Scotty's Electric's (2-1105's 1-1100) for the last 6 years and [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img] them

With manual ones it's a toss up, electric Scotty is the only way to go.

I own Scottys, but Cannons are nice too.

Get whatever is on sale. They both have lifetime warranties and they both do what they are intended to do.

Any comments on "Walkers" ?

I run two scotty depth power 30's on my sled. They almost run themselves. Love the heck out of them and a life time warranty to boot. Go with Scotty. Big.
