Ive always run Cannons..had a pair of mini mags on an 18' Starcraft that were just workhorses fof a small rigger. I had some maual Cannons for a bit and great but too much work. I had a pair of Big John electrics after that and they were just a headache.the small spools would constantly get wire coming off and wrapping around the spindle causing HUGE messes. I dumped them fast and went back to Cannons. Guess its what I am used to. I might still upgrade for next year, and would likely go to Scotties to stay Canadian.After running a Charter Business for many years I have had most riggers. I started with Big John. then went to Walker then to Cannon on my next 3 boats and then to Scotty. I have since retired from the chart business and have down sixed my ride to an 18' Legend. I have Walkers on this boat. In my opinion all riggers have their ups and downs (pun intended) but I find not one is better or worse than another as it is what you get used to.
