Proos Downriggers

[tangledline]

Anyone had experience with this brand of Downrigger? I'm interested in upgrading my downriggers .... their old and one is starting to run slow and hard. What's the opinion on which brand is the best?

Cannons and Scotty's are the top brands on Lake O right now. I run Cannons and love them. Scotty's are cheaper by a long shot. I'm not a fan of belt driven riggers. That's just my opinion.

Thanks ..... I have a couple cannons myself ... I was under the impression the Big Jon's are the way to go.

I've got a couple of Proos manuals and they work great if ya don't mind winding...but that is not bad either because of the oversize wire spool. You can bring up 3 feet of cable in one spin of the crank. Solid construction...Had these for 20 years now. keepin em fer my 14 ft alumacraft now that I got scotty power riggers on the big boat.
