Just a Penn locally, and maybe a fishing buddy.  The pair up north with swivel bases had sold.

 FWIW, I’ve owned both, and will never go back to Cannon!

 My Scotty’s are way faster to bring up and put back down, and way easier to work on if I need to do anything. :twocents:

See them around flathead lake on Facebook marketplace cheap all the time. Saw 6 Penn golds for 350 a while back.

I've used both but currently I'm running Cannons for the last 5 years.  I haven't had any issues, however, I like the lower profile of the scottys.  I got both of the Connons on sale at about 30% off each which was the deal sealer.  Best of luck as the fishing has been amazing this year.

Pretty cheap penns on Craigslist right now. Pretty reliable manual downrighers, used them for years before moving up to Cannon electrics.  Not a big fan of Scotty's, actually have a couple on my smaller lake boat and seems somethings always acting up on em.
