My buddy has Cannons that are like 20yrs old and he loves them. I think if all you've ever fished with are Cannnons then they're great. Drive me nuts though and it always takes me a few drops to get back in the Cannon groove. Work great and are very realible!

I have no experiance with Scotty's although I've only heard great things even though their spool seems to facing the wrong way.

The thing I love about Penn's the most is their drag is smooth and very simple. I can drop very fast and when bouncing that drag has saved me lots of gear!
