I'm not "proud" of my downrigger brand of choice. I didn't design or build them. But the thread was a question on downrigger opinions. I gave mine. It's based on 20 years experience. I'd love to hear why scottys are so great. I'd love to hear the advantages of any other brand over cannon. But in 20 years I've never heard of any. If Scotty works for you, great. I'm sure they're fine. It's not complicated technology to go up and down. I'm sure any brand will work.
As far as the clutch... You should be able to easily slow the decent with one hand. Order some replacement parts and it will be good as new for a few bucks. In the future, don't exceed weight limits and don't overtighten. It should last year's and years.
