[QUOTE="jethro, post: 507755, member: 12381"] We have almost the exact same progression right down to the models! Although technically mine are the 1116's- just different mounts. In my opinion power riggers are one of those rare items that actually equate to putting more fish in the boat. Reason being that I will change presentations much more willingly. Anyone that has fished downriggers over 50 feet deep knows the heartbreak of tying a new lure, getting it all set up, removing the slack and popping the line off the release. It's a process setting your lines on downriggers. Power riggers makes it way easier. Also fishing solo, it's a gamechanger. Any of the power riggers are great, but one thing nice about the Scottys are they are one of the fastest retrieve rates for the lowest amp draw. They also don't use power to drop the ball unlike the Cannons. Pro guides like the high end Cannons because you can dial in a depth and let it do it's thing, it will stop on it's own. The Scottys you need to drop the ball and stop it at the depth you want manually. Another good thing about the Scottys are they are really easy to service. Very simple construction and brake system. I carry almost every wearable part on board my boat and rebuilds can be done with simple tools.
