Upgrade your trolling setup with the Cannon Aluminum Swivel Base Downrigger Pedestal, a reliable 6-inch mount designed for anglers who demand precision and durability on the water. Crafted from high-grade aluminum, this pedestal delivers smooth 360-degree rotation while offering 16 secure locking positions spaced every 22.5 degrees. Whether you're battling big salmon in rough lakes or targeting walleye in calmer waters, this swivel base keeps your downrigger exactly where you need it—without the hassle of constant adjustments.

Why Anglers Trust This Swivel Pedestal for Downriggers

Downriggers are essential for getting your lures to the right depth during trolling, but a shaky or restrictive mount can ruin your day. This Cannon pedestal solves that with its pre-drilled and tapped top plate, compatible with Cannon models and most other brands like Scotty or Big Jon. The sturdy aluminum construction resists corrosion from saltwater spray and freshwater splashes alike, ensuring it holds up season after season. At just 6 inches tall, it provides the ideal height for clear rod access and quick swings to avoid tangles when fighting fish.

Seamless Mounting and Versatility

Install this pedestal effortlessly on flat surfaces or standard track systems found on popular boats like Lund, Crestliner, or Nitro. No special tools required beyond basics—simply secure it to your deck or rail, attach your downrigger, and you're ready to deploy lines. The locking mechanism engages firmly, preventing unwanted movement from waves or boat wakes, yet releases smoothly for repositioning. It's a game-changer for multi-rod spreads, letting you swing the downrigger out of the way for net landings or bait changes.

Real-World Performance on the Water

Imagine trolling a deep-diving crankbait pattern off the Great Lakes: with this pedestal, you swivel effortlessly to clear the cockpit during a hot bite, maintaining perfect line angles without snags. Its lightweight design won't add unnecessary weight to your transom, preserving boat balance for better fuel efficiency and handling. Pair it with electric or manual downriggers for setups that handle stripers, lake trout, or stripers—proving its worth from dawn patrols to evening limits.

Built to Last with Proven Durability

High-grade aluminum means superior strength-to-weight ratio over plastic alternatives that crack under torque. Expect resistance to UV fading, rust, and heavy use. Regular freshwater rinses extend its life, especially after brackish trips. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty, it's a smart investment for serious trollers who value reliability over gimmicks.
