Cannon vs. Scotty downrigger?

Anyone have experience with both? It looks as though the Cannon would mount on the Trident hard cover rod pod, but the reviews online seem mixed. It is also quite a bit more expensive than the Scotty.

Opinions or advice?

Thanks,
Pete

which cannon are you talking about?  they are fairly large so it would be a lot more trouble. the scotty has the laketroller which is small and fairly easy to handle from a kayak, but the cannon's are all like uni-troll size which is a lot of work, and potentially dangerous because they would hang over your feet if put on the rod pod.

as a note, i use the laketroller from my kayak and it handles fine. but if you're talking about ocean salmon trolling where you might need some heavier weights (i use 3lb balls) then I dont have experience with it at that rate.  I think Zee uses the laketroller or maybe the scotty depthmaster, which is similar to a laketroller but a little stronger.

I have the cannons on my powerboat and they are nice enough. I have a spare one if you want it i would sell it to you cheap, but you should definitely consider the placement of your downrigger. personally i think the rod pod is not a good place to put one but thats just my humble opinion.
