I think it is a regional thing. On Vancouver Island, Scotty out sells eveything else 1000/1. I am a Scotty retailer. Have also stocked Cannon, Penn, Walker and Big Jon. The Cannons were twice the price of the Scotty's with a complicated circuit board prone to failure. One of our guide customers was given a pair for free just to get them out there and seen. He is now using Scotty's again. When A Scotty breaks, a shop can fix it with parts in stock. Cannons have to be sent to a repair depot. Penn has gone away, they were good but parts were tough. Walker and Big Jon we could not give away. So we stick with what is easiest, and go with the flow.
