Cannon 8lb Flash Weight

Take your trolling game to the next level with a weight designed for relentless performance on the water. This 8-pound flash weight from Cannon slides smoothly down your downrigger cable, holding lures at precise depths where trophy fish hang out. Its sleek profile cuts through currents without veering off course, ensuring every pass over structure or bait schools delivers maximum hookups.

Engineered for Superior Tracking and Fish-Magnet Appeal

Crafted with a tapered body and integrated keel, this weight maintains a rock-solid line regardless of your boat's speed or wave action. The black vinyl coating not only shields your boat's hull from unsightly scratches but also stands up to constant exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and rough handling season after season. What sets it apart is the prismatic tape embedded on the fin—a shimmering beacon that flashes light in all directions, drawing curious predators from afar like a submarine signal.

• Flawless Depth Control: The keel design eliminates cable twist and wandering, keeping your spread dialed in tight.
• Proven Durability: Thick vinyl layer resists chipping, peeling, or fading, even after hundreds of deployments.
• Visual Strike Trigger: Reflective prism material scatters light underwater, mimicking distressed baitfish and igniting strikes.

Real-World Advantages for Serious Anglers

Imagine running a tight pattern across a thermocline-loaded lake, where kings or walleyes lurk just below the surface. This weight lets you probe those zones consistently, without the frustration of erratic swings that spook fish or tangle lines. It's a game-changer for multi-rod spreads, allowing you to stack depths and cover more water efficiently. Anglers report fewer resets and more limits thanks to its no-fuss release from popular downrigger clips, freeing you to focus on spotting boils and setting the hook.

Effortless Setup and Everyday Reliability

Clip it on in seconds—no tools, no hassle. Pair it with your existing downrigger setup for immediate results, whether you're chasing salmon in the Great Lakes or stripers along coastal bays. For best outcomes, match its heft to your target species and water conditions: the 8-pound class shines in 20-60 feet of water with moderate currents, providing stable sink rates around 1-1.5 feet per second.

Long-Lasting Performance Tips

To keep it performing like new, rinse with fresh water after every trip to flush away salt and debris. Inspect the prism tape periodically for wear, and store in a dry tackle bag during off-seasons. Its robust construction means it handles the demands of charter ops or tournament trails without skipping a beat.
