Lake Erie Downrigger Questions

Thanks for the info everyone. Great info regarding the ball/torpedo's, releases and Fishhawk. After a few off line conversations leaning towards purchasing the Scotty 1116 Propack's electrics instead of the Cannon Mag10 STX electrics. Scotty's seems to be easier to maintain, less chance of electronic issues(switches boards etc), auto stop with and without braid, more control of speed when dropping the ball. Scotty's seem to be more mechanical than electronic. Sure both will work. Do you guys have any input on the Cannon vs Scotty scenario.

I run older Scottys and like them alot. When you watch the Pacific salmon fishers on the west coast they all fish Scottys. They use them over Cannon for a reason
