Cannon Downrigger Weights & Accessories
Cannon Downrigger Weights & Accessories: Built for the Depths
When it comes to controlled-depth fishing, few names carry as much credibility as Cannon. Downrigger weights and accessories are the unsung heroes of any serious trolling spread — and Cannon has spent decades engineering these components to perform as hard as the anglers who depend on them. Whether you're targeting Great Lakes salmon, coastal trophy fish, or late-season walleye, getting your bait to exactly the right depth starts with the right weight.
Cannon Downrigger Weights: Engineering Meets Fish Attraction
Cannon's downrigger weights aren't just ballast — they're purpose-built fishing tools. Vinyl-coated construction is a standout feature across the lineup: the vinyl coating is designed to prevent scratching the side of the boat , protecting your hull finish even after countless drops and retrieves. That coating isn't just protective — durable vinyl won't wear down over time , meaning these weights maintain their finish season after season.
What truly sets Cannon's weights apart is the built-in fish-attracting technology. Each weight features reflective prism tape on the fin for extra fish attraction, drawing fish from a distance . This detail transforms a passive piece of lead into an active part of your presentation — the flashing prism tape can trigger curiosity strikes even before your lure enters the strike zone.
Cannon engineers their weights to work in both saltwater and freshwater environments, with a weight range spanning 4 to 16 lbs to match varying current conditions, trolling speeds, and target depths. Whether you're fishing shallow inland lakes or pulling deep in open water, there's a Cannon weight dialed in for the job.
A Legacy of Controlled-Depth Innovation
Cannon has been a leading manufacturer of downriggers since 1979, developed by two avid fishermen who wanted to make the most of every fishing experience. That same angler-first philosophy runs through every accessory in their lineup. Cannon's accessory range is designed to help you adapt your downrigger setup to the design of your watercraft and the way you fish, with options including line releases, trolling weights, mounting systems, and more.
This ecosystem approach means Cannon weights and accessories are engineered to work seamlessly with Cannon downrigger systems — no mismatched hardware, no improvised rigging. Cannon downriggers feature fewer moving parts, one-piece composite construction, and corrosion-resistant design , and the same philosophy of reliability and durability extends to every weight and accessory they produce.
