SCOTTY's new High Performance downriggers

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

Good news, Scotty manufacturing is pleased to launch it's new HP series of downriggers. They will be shipping in December.

I had the pleasure of field testing these the last 2 months of the season. Only minor bugs were discovered. They have been rectified and are now ready for World-wide launch. The 3 biggest features that appeal to me are MUCH faster, HUGE digital display/ counter that is lighted, improved rod holder design. Other features the company is touting: Kevlar drive belt, same material used in high-end vehicle drive belts, sealed/lighted counters w/ 5yr battery, marinco corrosion resistant plugs, and World-class weight retrieval speeds: 20lb ball-- 260'/min, 15lb ball--295'/min, 12lb ball--304'/min, 10lb ball--312'/min. The riggers come with a limited lifetime warranty for original purchaser. More info and details [email protected]

If we told you yes will you want one then? or just "LEAVE" them for the rest of us.

[Iceman]

I already have a toy lawnmower, so no on wanting one, I wll leave them for you.

[skipper19]

Well... visuals are in the eye of the beholder...and you said you STILL have your toy lawn mower

Thanks for the post. I really hope they are going to offer the new rod holders as accessories? I would upgrade my duals today! Any word on that? Thanks, Tank

I saw on the Scotty website that they had the new rod holders listed separately under the rod holder section so I'm guessing they would be offered as accessories. I have yet to find a website listing them but being so new they may have not caught up yet. I will be upgrading mine for the spring too.

Vince, are they a smaller profile than the original design?

[Capt Vince Pierleoni]

Tony, yes they are. I never thought the original design was a problem, the "clean" cover is flat, with no protrusions to catch anything. The new design is even less obtrusive. Think about it, out in B.C. where they were designed, they fish for Salmon in harsh, saltwater environments. Any model they make is proven,proven,proven.

Guys, I dug into it and the new rod holders will be offered as an accessory sometime early in 2011.
