Cannon Optimum™ 10 BT Electric Downrigger — Product description

Unlock Precision Trolling with Smart Technology

Picture this: you're out on the water chasing walleye or salmon, and your bait needs to hit that exact depth where the fish are stacking up. The Cannon Optimum 10 BT Electric Downrigger turns that vision into reality with its Bluetooth-enabled smarts. This isn't just a downrigger—it's your command center for trolling, blending rugged build with wireless control that keeps you focused on the bite, not the mechanics.

Anglers rave about how it simplifies running multiple lines without the hassle of tangled wires. Network up to four units wirelessly, and command them from the 3.5-inch full-color LCD, a compatible fish finder, or your smartphone via the intuitive app. Whether you're solo or with a crew, control stays in your hands, adapting to the boat's rhythm.

Seamless Wireless Control and App Integration

Leave the cables behind. The built-in Bluetooth pairs effortlessly with the Cannon app, delivering real-time trolling data like depth, speed, and temperature right to your phone. Update firmware on the fly, sync multiple downriggers, and even trigger an "Auto Up" to reel in all weights at once—perfect for those quick repositioning moments during a hot bite.

For deeper insights, pair it with advanced sensors (compatible systems sold separately) to track your weight's true depth, speed through water, and temp readings at depth. This level of connectivity means fewer guesses and more fish in the cooler.

  • Full-color LCD with customizable views and day/night modes for glare-free reading.
  • One-Boat Network compatibility for unified control across displays.
  • Mobile app for remote operation from anywhere on deck.

Advanced Fishing Modes for Targeted Success

Elevate your strategy with features designed by anglers for anglers. Spot fish on sonar? Activate Depth Cycling to bounce your bait through the strike zone at set intervals, mimicking injured prey and triggering strikes.

After a hookup, no need to scribble notes—the unit stores your last depth and up to five presets for instant return. Bottom Tracking keeps lures hovering just off the floor, ideal for lake trout or perch runs. And Positive Ion Control? It counters your boat's negative electrical field, creating an attractive zone that holds fish tight to your line.

Standout Performance Boosters

  • Waterline Zero: Stops weights precisely below the surface to prevent boom damage.
  • Short Stop & Soft Stop: Gentle retrievals that protect gear and boat.
  • Five Speed Settings: Dial in from slow creeps to blistering 250 feet-per-minute retrieves.

Built to Withstand the Elements

Constructed for relentless freshwater pursuits, this downrigger laughs off corrosion with its stainless steel cable, telescopic boom (24-53 inches extension), and waterproof connections. The low-profile swivel base mounts securely, while the removable side plate makes spool maintenance a breeze—clear snags or swap lines without tools.

Heavy-duty components handle 20-pound weights effortlessly, backed by a limited lifetime warranty that gives peace of mind season after season.

Setup is straightforward, so you spend less time rigging and more time reeling.

Pro Angler Tips

For best results in big water like the Great Lakes, extend the boom fully for wider spreads and use preset depths based on seasonal patterns—shallow for spring kings, deeper for summer eyes. Pair with quality releases to minimize drop-backs, and always test Positive Ion Control on your first few runs to fine-tune attraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many downriggers can I network together wirelessly?

You can wirelessly connect up to four Optimum 10 BT units, allowing synchronized control of depths, speeds, and Auto Up functions from a single point like your app or display.

Does it work with my Humminbird fish finder?

Yes, through the One-Boat Network, it integrates seamlessly with select Humminbird models for viewing trolling data and remote control directly from your fish finder screen.

What is Positive Ion Control and why use it?

Positive Ion Control emits ions from the cable to neutralize your boat's negative electrical field in the water, creating a fish-friendly zone that keeps them closer to your baits without spooking them.

Can I use Bottom Tracking in shallow water?

Absolutely—Bottom Tracking automatically maintains a user-set distance from the bottom, making it versatile for varying depths from shallows to drops, ideal for perch or suspended crappie.

How fast does it retrieve weights?

It offers up to 250 feet per minute—the fastest in its class—with five adjustable speeds for precise control during active fishing or quick resets.

Is the display easy to read in sunlight?

The 3.5-inch full-color LCD features high-contrast modes, including day and night settings, ensuring clear visibility even under bright midday sun or low-light conditions.

What's the benefit of Waterline Zero?

It programs a stop point just below the waterline on retrieval, preventing swinging weights from banging your boat or boom, which extends gear life and avoids costly repairs.
