Downrigging Tips
  1. Try the cycle feature on the DT-IV to create a unique "action" in your lure. Many times this will trigger a strike.
     
  2. When your downrigger weight is way out there at the end of your boom, it can be difficult and dangerous to retrieve it. When it's time to re-rig your lure in the release or to retrieve your weight, try using Cannon's retro-ease- it pulls in heavy weights safely and easily.
     
  3. Front- or rear-mounting dual rod holders are easy to add to Cannon downriggers. They allow you to use multiple rods off the same downrigger.
     
  4. "Stacking lines" is a term used to describe multiple fishing lines off the same downrigger. Cannon's Universal Stacker Release allows you to cover more water columns and find fish faster.
     
  5. When you have your downrigger set at the depth you want it, don't forget to set your clutch correctly. It is designed to "slip" in case your weight hangs up in rocks. This will avoid breaking the line and losing expensive lures or weights.
     
  6. A swivel base is not mandatory, but it's highly recommended. It makes using your downrigger a lot easier. Our low-profile swivel base allows you to move the downrigger out of the way when it's time to net a big fish, or position the downrigger at different angles off the boat when you're fishing planer boards, dipsy divers and flat lines.
     
  7. It's always a good idea to carry extra releases, weights, terminator kits and replacement cable in the boat. That way if you break or lose something while fishing, you can simply re-rig and not spend time out of the water.
     
  8. Always keep your boat in gear when setting your downriggers. Allow the weight to descend slowly to avoid tangles. To be sure your lure is working properly, check its action at trolling speed.
     
  9. If you notice that you're marking bottom-hugging fish, such as walleye or lake trout, try using Cannon's exclusive bottom tracking feature, available on the DT-IV or Mag 20HS. This option is available by interfacing with HumminBird Fishing System Fishfinders in conjunction with Cannon Link.  Bottom tracking allows you to put your lure as close as one foot off the bottom and keep it there, no mater how much the bottom depth changes.
     
  10. Keep an eye on your downrigger rods when making turns while trolling. The lure on the inside of the turn will slow down while the lure on the outside will speed up. In many cases, this change in speed will trigger a strike.
     
  11. When attaching the weight to the ball hook, make sure you hang the weight by the eye on top, not the end.
