I am such a big fan of Penn manual downriggers. You can view the depth from just about anywhere in the boat, unlike most others, and they just don't seem to ever break down. When I fish on the Olympic Peninsula, they seem to be most everyone's favorite. I don't know why that isn't so in this area. If you are going electric, most of the experts seem to go with Scotty. By the way, you can get a relatively new Penn on ebay auctions for 100-150. I would personally stay away from the Cannons. A repair shop in Port Angeles told me that Cannons have the worst record for break-downs, and Penn has the best record. Mike
