downriggers
« on: March 24, 2022, 09:29:12 PM »
I am looking to buy a new pair of downriggers for the new boat.  Anyone using the Scotty 2106s give a review.  otherwise I will go back to the 1106s.

Know nothing about the 2106. 1106B works great for me. Only thing I don’t like about it is the plug has reverse polarity. 🤪🤪🤪Canucks
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

I have the 1106 and the 2106 Scotty's and both are great. I had never found a need to replace the 1106 riggers until I fished a bunch with a buddy that had the 2106 on his boat and then when I went out and fished on my boat I was annoyed at how slow the 1106 riggers were. I love the quickness of the 2106 riggers when salmon fishing, but when I am kokanee fishing i use the 1106 due to fishing shallow and lighter downrigger balls. Both are bullet proof and work great, the 2106 will allow for using 20lb balls and that is nice when fishing deep in certain areas.

Had Scotties for years on my big boat, Replaced with Cannon Digitrolls
And put Mag 10s on my small boat
For some reason I like the Cannons better, especially the plugs, although Scotties are solid
Can’t go wrong
One shot. One kill!

I was faced with the same question last year. I went with the 1106’s and haven’t had any regrets about it. They are fast enough.
