I'm looking to buy a down-rigger for my lake boat (8' Livingston) does anyone have any input on Scotty over Cannon or the other way around. I'm looking for a manual with a clamp mount. Not looking for the cheapest something around 100.00 to 150.00.

I'd go with a Scotty 1050. You would have to but the clamp mount seperate but I think it's just the right size. You could probably get away with one of the tiny clamp on models I just don't thnk they are big enough. If you shop around you should be able to find the scotty 1050 and a clamp on mount and stay within your budget.

I'd agree a 1050 is the ticket, and a 4lb. ball and a light clip and you will be money Tup:

And sorry I had to go when we were chatting, give me a call someother time,I'd like to pic. your brain a lil :lol:

I like Cannons for manual,and Scottys for electric.

I prefer the the way the Cannon crank is oriented over the Scottys.

Cannon makes 3-4 smallish manuals.

Either the Cannon lake-troll or easi-troll should be within your budget. check out the show in Monroe next week for deals.

Cannon Mini Mag would be perfect for the livingston...I just sold one in the classifieds for $30....Oh well, check them out you will like Tup:

Mini-Mag was a great electric downrigger. Unfortunately they are not available any more. Opening price point on an electric is about $350. With that you get a 250ft per minute retrieve, PIC built in and short stop.
