Down rigger

[John C]

Has any one else noticed how much cheaper it is to buy a downrigger from the USA??? Really thinking about getting one.

bought one last year from the states and saved heaps...why pay extra..

i bought mine 3-4 years ago from a usa fishing and boating shop i paid around $208 that included a cannon lake troll downrigger two release clips and 3 day express shipping to sydney not bad the same downrigger wasnt available over here at the time but i think it is now for $350

That's the same model I'm looking at. Is it big enough for the kings?

I'm currently waiting on a Scotty 1060 to be delivered for under $200. The lower spec 1050 goes for almost double that here I believe.

What brand are these ones you guys are talking about? Are they the scotty ones?

i cant post links in here do a google for "cannon downriggers" and no there not scotty downriggers two different brands

scottys are horizontal cannon are vertical and easier imo to use cannon also use much more sturdy rod holders and better release clips

Cannon DRs for the win.

and yes import from USA is cheaper even the Bomb.
