[quote Zhorntix]I have a one buddy that really likes his cannon downriggers. That being said his units were manual and pretty easy to use. he isn't brand loyal to cannon, he's more opportunistic. He came ran into a great deal and he's just kept using them for years and years now.
I think what i'm looking for is more on an opinion on how much to spend on them or what is a good starter unit. I will usually spend most of my trips out on Willard, Pine view or Strawberry.
With a new fish finder that has a much better picture than the previous unit I now see more fish than before. I'm looking at being able to target fish more specifically at Strawberry or Pine view. How deep do I need to be able to go? how deep is most of the fishing going to be? Are there features that you wouldn't do without?
Thanks for all of your answers so far, I'm spending even more time on Google than I thought I would.
Chris[/quote] as far as electrics canon can be power down for a controlled decent, Scotty's have to be lowered manually. as far as depth strawberry you catch most fish at around 30 to 50 feet. but it's not unusual to catch down to 70 feet. but it is difficult to release fish caught at that depth. the best downrigger is the one you can get. they are really fun no matter which brand
