[scott craven]

1106 or 2106 depending on whether you need reg or high speed

Ok great thanks! How big is the difference in the high speed ones?

 

[scott craven]

Pretty big !
depends how deep you're fishing
anything over 150' you'll want the highspeed

There is only one make of downriggers and that’s Scotty. End of conversation.

The only thing between my level wind and a big king salmon is the cable of a cannon downrigger.
Them’s fightin’ words.

In all seriousness 1106’s are fine up to 15lb balls and 150ish feet. but 2106’s are better. Especially if you fish pinnacles

Yeah 2106 or high speeds are a definite must if you want to fish pinnacles

my 1106s fishing 270 plus feet would
like a word....

True dat. My 1106’s have never failed me either. I keep it under 170’ usually in my area. The ball comes up at around the same speed as a steady reeling.

Yeah I probably should have phrased it differently, should have known that on this forum the question is which model of Scotty should i get

 

[scott craven]

Walker, Big Jon, Cannon all make downriggers as well.
Only Scotty is local and gives the best service bar none.

I run Scotty 1106s. A very dependable, high-quality product made by a Canadian company.

x2 on the 1106ixes

 

[kingblazer84]

I run 2 - Scotty 1106’s wouldn’t choose anything else!

 

[Howzer]

1106's, good reliability, relatively fool-proof

 

[Rockfish]

I run both. Scotty 1106 and two 2106 high speeds. Also have a Scotty manual long arm. When the bite is on for 20 minutes and a rigger screws up you do not want to waste time fixing it. Swap it out and fix it later.

Get 1106. I wont buy high speed because of digital counter.
