Hey Maghunter,
I might as well throw my two cents worth in reg. downriggers. I have had both Canons and Penns. I swear by the Penns. True, you don't see many in this area, but over on the coast they're extremely popular. One great advantage of the Penn is that the depth indicator is huge compared to the Canon, and it is on the main body. My oldest Penn is probably 20 years old, and has never had any problems, even with an annual dosing of salt water. All I am suggesting is that you compare. You can get some good bargains on the Penns online. Enjoy that new trolling boat. Whichever type of d. r. you buy, I promise you it will increase tremendously your catch rate. Mike
