Fish at the exact depth

Fish often hold at a specific depth, and a downrigger is how you get your bait there precisely, with Cannon the leading name. A downrigger uses a heavy weight on a cable to carry your bait down to a set depth, releasing the line when a fish strikes. Cannon makes manual downriggers for simplicity and electric downriggers for push-button depth control, along with weights, booms, rod holders, and accessories. For trolling anglers chasing salmon, trout, walleye, and other suspended fish, a Cannon downrigger turns guesswork into precise depth control, putting your presentation right in the strike zone.

Choosing the right downrigger comes down to how and where you fish. Manual downriggers are simpler and a great value for occasional or shallower use, while electric models raise and lower the weight at the push of a button, which matters for deep water and frequent depth changes. Consider boom length for how far you want the weight from the boat, and match weight to your trolling speed and depth. Confirm the mount fits your boat. Review the product details before buying. With a Cannon downrigger, you put your bait exactly where the fish are.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a downrigger work?

A downrigger lowers a heavy weight on a cable to carry your bait to a set depth. Your fishing line attaches to a release clip, and when a fish strikes, the line releases so you fight the fish directly. It puts your bait at a precise depth.

Manual or electric downrigger?

Manual downriggers are simpler and a good value for occasional or shallower fishing, while electric models raise and lower the weight at the push of a button, which is a big advantage for deep water and frequent depth changes. Choose by how you fish.

What weight do I need?

Match the downrigger weight to your trolling speed and target depth. Faster speeds and deeper water need heavier weights to keep the cable angle reasonable and hold depth. Heavier weights track straighter down, so size up for deep or fast trolling.
