Cannon Digi-Troll Downriggers

The innovations of the Cannon Digi-Troll™ IV downrigger let you take complete control. Utilize the cycle function to automatically jig the weight up and down, or use bottom tracking mode to keep the weight at a certain distance from the bottom. The Cannon Digi-Troll IV’s downrigger memory can even store up to five different depths, and automatically deploy or retrieve the cannonball at different speeds. At the foundation of these technological innovations are an industry-leading ball retrieval rate, powerful telescopic boom and agile low-profile swivel base.

Cannon Magnum Downrigger

The Cannon Magnum downrigger is for the serious boat captains and is trusted for its dependability and durability. They rely on its unparalleled toughness, the fastest retrieval rate on the market (250 feet per minute) and a Short-Stop feature that protects the boat from swinging weights. Smart, convenient design that maximizes performance and minimizes space. The Cannon Mag 10TS downrigger features a stylish white finish and a stainless steel spool that’s tough enough to handle monofilament or today’s popular “super lines.”

You just can't go wrong with Cannon Downriggers!

Introduction to Controlled Depth Fishing Undoubtedly there are many fishermen familiar with the methods and use of controlled depth fishing. During the mid 1960's the state of Michigan introduced Pacific salmon into the Great lakes in an attempt to revitalize its sport fishing industry. From this successful transplant,
new fishing techniques and equipment were developed. One such method was controlled depth fishing which enabled fishermen to place a lure at a desired depth by utilizing downriggers.  Because of the varying factors (water temperature, thermocline, weather, tides, time of day, or time of year) it is necessary for
successful fishing to maintain specific water depths that coincide with fish movements and feeding patterns.  One essential feature of the downrigger is
the depth meter or gauge that indicates lure depth. This allows the angler to control as well as return to specific depths where fish have been caught.
Due to the success of controlled depth fishing, downriggers are now being used throughout the world to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt water. Whether fishing for blues off Rhode Island, walleyes in Lake Erie, sailfish off the coast of Florida, or stripers in Tennessee, the use of downriggers
will make your fishing more successful and more enjoyable.

Downrigger Mounting on Boats A downrigger should be mounted where ever it is easy to operate and observe. You want to be able to see your fishing rod and to react quickly.  So, choosing a good spot to mount your downrigger on your boat is 99% of the job. Due to the great variety of boats available, mounting your downrigger can be a dilemma. Having proper mounting accessories is essential. Cannon has a complete line of mounting accessories to conveniently mount your
downriggers on any boat.

Fishing With Your Downrigger After programming your Digi-Troll IV, release some line from your rod and reel so that the lure is anywhere from 5 to 100 feet behind the boat. This is called drop back. Attach the fishing line firmly into the line release. Press and hold the down key to lower the weight to the desired depth as indicated on the display or select a preprogrammed weight depth. Place the fishing rod in rod has a slight bend in it. When a fish strikes the lure, the line will separate from the release. Then you will be free to fight the fish and bring it in on your rod and reel.


Manual Descent


By turning the clutch knob gently clockwise (toward the boom), you can let your trolling weight descend as fast or as slowly as you wish. Turning the knob counterclockwise (away from the boom) stops the weight. This gives you control to let it plunge rapidly or sink slowly to a predetermined trolling depth. With multiple downriggers, you could start all your weights creeping down, one at a time, and then stop them each in turn.  Note: In order to track your weight depth your Digi-Troll IV must be turned on.

The Positive Ion Control System Your boat has an electrical charge around the hull in water. If a boat is properly bonded and properly zinced, that charge should be slightly positive when measured from ground to the downrigger cable. Positive Ion Control (PIC) is the use of electricity to control that charge and its
fluctuation so that it is always maintained at a specified set voltage. The practice of setting up and maintaining a slight positive charge on fishing gear has been
used by commercial fishermen for many years. This practice has enabled some fisherman to increase yield when used along with other good
fishing and boating practices. Cannon's electric downriggers offer fishermen a big advantage in being able to stabilize and control the positive charge around their boat.  Because of the Lexan® construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are insulated from your boat's hull charge. When the stainless steel downrigger cable is lowered into the water, the natural ionization between the cable and the boat creates a positive charge of 0.7 to 0.9 volts in saltwater and 0.3 to
0.6 volts in fresh water. This natural voltage is dependent upon salinity and mineral content of the water. Your actual voltage may vary.
