Cannon Downriggers
Author: Tank Depot
Today's Cannon Downriggers come straight from the factory built with a rugged combination of advanced electronics and durable mechanical engineering.
Whether you are spending a quiet Georgia afternoon on the bass lake trolling with a Cannon mini-troll manual downrigger, fishing the Great Lakes for salmon and pike with a Magnum 10, or heading out from Oxnard to hunt for Halibut with a Cannon Digi-Troll IV, Mag 20 DT, or UniTroll 5, Canon has the downrigger to put your lure right where the fish are and maximum your chances of putting the fish in the boat where you are.
Cannon's latest breakthrough in downrigger technology came with the integration of Positive Ion Controla,¢ (PIC) into the downrigger cable. Boats and cables create electrical charges in the water than are highly unstable and will repel fish if the charge is either a strong positive or strong negative. Cannon engineers went to work on the problem, developing PIC technology to send a controlled, slight positive charge from the downrigger into the cable itself. This lower positive charge is exactly what you need to attract fish, so not only do you eliminate the risk of spooking the fish with your equipment, you can actually attract them with a Cannon downrigger.
The new Digi-Trolla,¢ IV and the Mag 20 both come equipped with PIC and offer the added value of full adjustability so you can the voltage specific to different species of fish you are pursuing.
Have you ever had the brilliant idea of fishing just above the bottom with a downrigger, only to realize that the bottom did not shape itself millions of years ago to perfectly accommodate your plans? All of us have faced the sad reality that even the best laid plans of fishermen sometimes need more adjustment than a rod and lure change.
Cannon once again went to the drawing board to develop countermeasures to this problem. Today's new downriggers, such as the Digi Troll IV, come equipped with Cannon's exclusive Bottom Tracking feature that tracks the position of the bottom and automatically adjusts the weight to the precise distance you set. Up to four of these Cannon downriggers can "slave" in tandem behind a "master" downrigger connected to a transducer. The logic relays in each unit will then control lure placement at multiple depths, allowing you to hit not only close to the bottom, but also at mid-depths and even surface level when trolling offshore for multiple species of fish.
Cannon downriggers also have developed new safety and convenience features never before available to anglers. In the past, anglers who hooked into extremely large fish also had to fight their downriggers along with their catch to get the cable and weight out of the way before the four-hour fight could begin. This can be a bit difficult with a marlin as old as the United States, or a shark the size of your boat.
Cannon downriggers with new Soft Stop technology handle the downrigger for you while you handle the beast in the sea. Touch the Auto-up pad on a Magnum 10, 15, or 20 Cannon downrigger, or our deluxe Digi Troll IV, and the reel pulls in the cable with an increasingly slower retrieve rate to place the weight just below the surface where it will not swing or get in the angler's way.
Regardless of your next destination, the Boat Depot folks have the Cannon downrigger just right for you. Whether going after hybrids in mountain lakes or Great Whites off the California Coast, you can trust the best in engineering and electronics to take care of the lure while you hopefully take care of the catch of a lifetime.

Try ebay and flea markets.
Can I hoist the Jolly Roger on my boat ?
Hi.fellow Boatie or anyone/
I know that maritime law forbids flying the skull & crossbones making it a pirate vessel in international waters, but at what penalty now we are out of old Elizabethan times.
The flags are available at chandlers for use as a bit of fun, and I stick one up when mooring on the inland waterways, along with the fake miniature cannon on the roof.
Surely the authourities will see the funny side, and not lock me in the brig I hope.
I also sometimes fly the red ensign, to show that I am freindly, which I am, but so did Sir Walter when acting as a licensed pirate for the crown.
I have a purple one with a potatoe emblem in the corner, for no particular reason.
What do you reckon ?
Bob the Boat
We see them on narrow boats past our house Bob.
Like the idea of a cannon.
Actually, i like the idea of a wooden galleon paint scheme with 50 fake portholes down the side..go on, i dare you.
people should lighten up with narrowboats – we could do with some variety. Only ever seen 2 “fun” schemes – one was Winnie the Pooh, thats still knoching about somewhere, the other was a Labourghini Coutach on the side of the boat – bit over the top but it was funny…A Lambo riding on the water at 4 MPH. repainted after 2 years i think, but why not laugh at it, not at the owner ?
Having said that, ours is dark blue with cream lines. ( boring eh ? )
I woudn’t worry. BW would not care. If they do, tell them you’ll write to CanalBoat and Inland Waterways magazines pointing our thier ridiculous priorities.
You could easily out cruise them anyway – they have to have a teabreak every 2 hours so you’d get away.
How do you fire a gas firing cannon?
i have miniature cannon that looks like this one on that site and i don’t know how to fire it http://www.stage-props-blank-guns.com/stage_movie_props/catalog/60MM-Green-Military-Cannon-p-1528.html
It looks like what is generically known as a carbide cannon.
The Conestoga Company has produced carbide cannons for decades. Their website has “ammo” (a calcium carbide paste) that they call “Bangsite”. It comes with directions. Click the “Ammo” tab in the following link:
