I've been running my cannon digitroll IV's for years there expensive ($1300) but i love the functions bottom following ,jigging function,etc. but i did have to replace a circuit board on one($500) i'm told they run kinda hot but newer modles have been improved to fix this problem

I have used both Scotty's and Cannons, both are great, we currently use Cannons since we paid $500 for two(2), not $500 for one but two(2)

Ever had a downrigger go overboard? ..........I have. Caught it by the power cable. The Cannon Mag 10 was completely submerged. I refastened it to the mount and it was right back in service. It is totally water proof. I doubt a Scotty could survive that much water. Now I do fish in the rain now and again or soupy wash but don't make it a practice of throwing my riggers overboard.

Ever had a belt jump off of a Scotty? ...........I have. Real funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! especially when the cable takes the express to the bottom.

Why is it that all downrigger manufacturers except Scotty use a direct gear drive?

Why does Scotty have such a great Warranty? Because they need it.

How many of you Scotty guys have to carry replacement belts and parts with you?

It's a pain in the butt to reset the footage counter on the Scotty and it looks like a toy lawnmower.

All in fun guys!
