Cannon 12" Stainless Steel Gimbal Mount

Upgrade your boating setup with a reliable gimbal mount designed specifically for Cannon downriggers. This 12-inch stainless steel mount slides seamlessly into 30-degree flush mount rod holders, letting you deploy your downrigger without sacrificing deck space or stability. Anglers who chase walleye, salmon, or lake trout know the value of a solid foundation—especially when trolling deep in rough waters where every wave tests your gear.

Why Anglers Trust This Gimbal Mount for Downriggers

Crafted from premium 316 stainless steel and polished to a mirror finish, this mount stands up to the harshest marine environments. Saltwater exposure? No problem—it shrugs off rust, pitting, and corrosion that plague lesser materials. The 1.5-inch outer diameter tube provides a snug fit in standard rod holders, while the 12-inch height offers the perfect reach for optimal downrigger positioning. Whether you're running a single rod holder or outfitting a full spread, it maximizes your boat's real estate without bulky extensions.

Key Advantages for Serious Trollers

• Space-Saving Design: Fits flush into 30-degree rod holders, keeping your deck clutter-free for fighting fish or maneuvering lines.
• Unmatched Durability: 316-grade stainless steel ensures longevity, even after seasons of heavy use in brackish bays or open lakes.
• Effortless Setup: No complex tools required—just drop it in, secure, and you're ready to fish. Pair it with your Cannon downrigger for a pro-level rig.
• Versatile Compatibility: Ideal for boats with flush mount rod holders, enhancing trolling spreads for stripers, kings, or eyes.

Real-World Performance on the Water

Picture this: You're mid-lake, wind picking up, and your downrigger needs to hold steady at 60 feet. Inferior mounts might wobble or seize, but this gimbal's smooth action keeps your cannonball precise. The gimbal mechanism allows natural swivel under load, preventing twists in your release clip or mainline. Seasoned guides swear by it for multi-rod setups, where reliability means more hookups and fewer tangles. Plus, its sleek profile won't snag waders or gear during those hectic netting moments.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

Getting it mounted takes minutes. Clean your rod holder, apply a light marine grease to the gimbal pins, and insert the mount. Tighten any set screws for a rock-solid hold. For upkeep, rinse with fresh water after saltwater trips and inspect the polish annually—though its corrosion resistance minimizes elbow grease. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve that factory shine, and store it dry during off-seasons to extend its lifespan even further.
