I use big jon downrigger's and think thay are great the manual's are way better than the cannon manuals I think. I had two cannon's go to crap on me in less than a yr the gear's went out on them try geting a cannon wound back in with the small spool it take's a long time and is a pain I have used big jon's all my life and never had a problem the boom's are great becouse you can feel and see every little bounce thay take if you hit the mud if a fish hit it and the boom's will never brake I have hung them up and had them hit the side of the boat and never even put a bend in them thay are allso faster than the cannon that is only on the manual's the electri's every thing about the cannon is top's but that tree trunk boom and if thay stop working thay are a pain like I said before I allso beleave the big jon manual is a little more than the cannon but this is just my opinion good luck hope ya find what u need.FISH
