Scotty Line Hauler

[Fish Assassin]

I don't know much about other pullers, but I have used Ace for over 10 years. I've broken the boom off when snagged on the bottom, I've burnt out motors, broken switches and some other stuff that wasn't the fault of the puller. It has all been fixed, no charge. I went Ace today with a motor that didn't work. I actully took it apart to see if I could fix it. Ya right!! Dropped off a box full of peices, and they said come back in one hour and pick it up. NO CHARGE. A great Van Isle company to do business with.
Just my 2 cents but until someone can provide better service I won't switch. $500.00 dollars or $5000.00 dollars sooner or later it will break and who's going to look after you then.

Was there my self today... They are the best company. Service can't be beat. They went over my entire unit and rebuilt everything and upgraded the unit. Never ever had a problem with them.. I'd buy another in a heart beat if they couldn't fix my unit but they always can which is why I like Ace so much.

Scotty has just as good service on their downriggers not sure why it's not extended to this puller. Last season a Hali obliterated my on/off switch. I didnt lie abiut how it broke - my fault. Replaced for free.

Nice to know about ace though Scotty has enough of our money might as well support them.

Hey, I'm not knocking Scotty products at all, but I have no experience with their puller. They have in the past replaced parts my dog chewed up for free. A great company that supports local people, derbys etc.

I pull big heavy crab traps and 2-3 prawn traps and i cant see a scotty belt drive hauling that.
both companies are good but i suppose ACE is the best on market here in BC.
I just wish it had a much bigger more powerful motor.

x2 what Bod said ....Ace Line hauler all the way ,
i have used mine for 5 years now , zero issues , busted an arm 2 years ago , gave me a new one , hell , one fell off the boat once , they gave me a new one...
great local product , no knock on Scotty's , there top notch in the rigger dept , both excellent company's , BUT , Ace is the way ta go for me , and i put ALOT of hours on them !!

i agree , support your local businesses , especially when there as good as both these guys !!

Agreed on the Ace too... burnt out a motor, they replaced it sight-unseen... didn't even ask for the old one to be shipped back...

I, however now pull by hand... takes more muscle and more time... but I've lost almost 100lbs since doing this (not saying that's the reason, but the little things do matter)

Cheers.

Capt; I hope you have a line to the surface on each end when you're dropping more than 2 prawn traps on one string...
