Scotty #1050 Depthmaster Manual Downrigger, Black, 23

In 1952, Blayney Scott and his wife Almeda Scott founded a small company in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada that pioneered the use of plastics in the manufacturing of salmon fishing lures and other marine products. From these humble beginnings, Scotty Manufacturing has evolved to produce thousands of products under the Scotty brand, which are now sold worldwide in the fishing, marine, outdoor, and firefighting industries.

Scotty has become recognized for its commitment to product excellence and quality, ensuring that customers can expect reliability and satisfaction from every Scotty-branded item. This dedication has taken the company to where it is today and will hopefully serve it well for many years to come.

The company's manufacturing plant, located near the Victoria International Airport, has recently expanded and now occupies an 85,000-square-foot facility built in 2000.

Scotty's range of products includes a comprehensive line of downriggers, which are designed to allow anglers to troll their lures at a specific depth. The concept of deep trolling using downriggers became popular with sport fishermen when the idea of attaching a rod to the downrigger, via a release clip, was introduced.

Scotty introduced its first downrigger over 40 years ago and now produces the most complete range of downriggers and accessories in the world. The company's downriggers come in various models, including High Performance, Depth Power, Manual Compact, and Laketroller, each with its own set of features and specifications to cater to different fishing needs.

The Scotty downriggers are equipped with a Scotty Power Grip line release, which allows the angler to clip their fishing line to the downrigger line. When a fish strikes, the line is released from the downrigger wire, leaving the heavy weight on the downrigger. This allows the angler to fight the fish on the rod and reel alone, without the added drag of heavy lines and trolling weights used in the past.

Scotty's commitment to quality and innovation has made their downriggers and other products highly sought-after by anglers worldwide. The company's products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and their prices and operating features are said to beat the competition hands down.
