Cannon verse BigJon

[pg1725]

I have a pair of manual Bigjon Captain Pak's. I am looking for first hand experience with the ease of use between the Bigjon and Cannon clutch to lower the weight. If you have used both...Which is easier to use, control rate of fall, location of rod holder, etc... My issue is the clutch is not predictable, changes with humidity, different from one to the other. I know the no clutch units require 2 hands but I used Proos Manuals for years and they were bullet proof and pulled up 3 foot of cable per turn. Thanks
