1) SPEED ON RETRIEVE The Scotty
electric downriggers are the fastest on the market. This means when you
are fishing deep you don't wait all day to come to the surface. This is
very important particularly when you have that trophy hookup. The performance
tables in the electric downrigger section show how Scotty
compares to all the others. When operated on your boat under load, nothing
beats a Scotty electric in speed, lifting
power or electrical efficiency. The big spool Scotty
manual downriggers also have a speed advantage. The large two feet per
turn spool is the fastest manual retrieve on the market. This spool also
comes with Scotty's exclusive extension handle for extra cranking leverage.
2) SPEED ON DECENT
The Scotty one hand clutch brake handle allows
a
smooth rapid decent to your exact fishing depth. This is a big advantage
particularly on the electric downriggers. With the Scotty
slip clutch you will be at fishing depth three to four times faster than
with other downriggers.
3) SAFETY SLIP CLUTCH All Scotty downriggers from the Depthmaster up are equipped with a slip clutch to protect your equipment in case of a hang up on the bottom or other obstruction. On the larger units this exclusive feature allows you to adjust the slip clutch just like you adjust a reel drag. This protection results in fewer incidents of broken gear and lost fishing time.
4) LOW PROFILE DESIGN The Scotty low profile horizontal wheel keeps the downrigger low and out of the way when you are fighting a fish. A big advantage during that critical time when you are trying to land a fish.
5) AUTOMATIC BRAKE One of the most popular Scotty exclusive advantages is its automatic brake. Every downrigger from the Depthmaster up has the Scotty auto brake. Any time you let go of the downrigger handle, the downrigger immediately stops. This is an important safety feature plus gives you the ability to instantly leave the downrigger if you need to grab a rod or set a hook.
6) ONE HAND BRAKE
The Scotty clutch brake operation is one handed.
The exclusive clutch lever operates the downrigger during decent. You always
have the other hand available to hold your rod or set gear. This is a big
advantage when compared to most other downriggers that require a twist
brake to be turned on and off.
7) POSITIVE ELECTROLYSIS
AND ION DISCHARGE A downrigger
wire in the water gives off a natural positive charge which attracts fish
if the
downrigger is designed correctly. The Scotty
downriggers are designed to give you this built in fish attracting feature.
The most important parts include an insulated spool and an insulated nylon
snap between your wire cable and your cannonball. No other downrigger has
this advantage.
8) TILT UP BOOM
All the Scotty larger downriggers are constructed
with a
built in tilt up boom. You can quickly reach your release or cannonball
by tilting the boom. You can lock the boom in the up position for travel
or docking. Most competing long boom downriggers leave you no way to reach
your gear except with a swivel or boat hook.
9) MORE RELIABILITY Scotty builds in reliability from the initial design to the final rigid quality control. The Scotty saltwater lifetime warranty speaks to the assurance the company provides that your downrigger is going to be ready to fish whenever you are. Many thousands of fishermen will testify to Scotty's continuing performance after decades of service.
10) SNAPPER LINE RELEASE Each Scotty downrigger comes with the unique snapper release that genuinely brings in more fish. The pincher pad release connects to the downrigger wire or cannonball with a heavy monofilament cord. This cord tilts upward when trolled. If a fish strikes, the dipping of the cord immediately signals the action to your rod tip. Also, if you catch a small fish that can't trip the release, you can see the bouncing rod tip and know to clear your gear.
