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.

Mounting Locations

Deck Plate

Gimbal Mount

Clamp Mount

Mounting Accessories

Deck Plates are necessary when extra

strength must be added to the base material of

the boat and for attaching the downrigger to other

mounting accessories.

Gimbal Mounts are designed to fit medium-

sized flush mounted rod holders built into the

gunwale of many larger fishing boats and

cruisers. Only sturdy, high quality rod holders

should be used for this temporary mounting

system. Gimbal mounts are available in 9" or 12"

post lengths.

MOUNTING & SETUP

Clamp Mounts can be mounted at the

junction of two rail sections with the aid of two ¼"

pieces of plywood. They will protect your rail from

any marks from the clamp and provide a non-slip

surface.

Side Rail Mounting

Side/Rail mounts can be mounted to a welded

T-section. It can also be used at the two rail

section butt joint. In both installations it is

recommended to use a non-slip material, such as

rubber or a thin wood sheet, between metal

surfaces.

You can also use these for mounting to a very

narrow side gunwale. There is a plate provided for

back-up with bolts and washers. If the gunwale

compartment is foamed in, then wellnuts should

be used. It is also recommended to install two

additional flat head screws through the top plate

for stabilization (you will need to drill and

countersink).

MOUNTING & SETUP

NOTE: In no case should this mount be used

on fiberglass ¼" thick or less unless it is

foamed in.

Pedestal Mounting

Pedestals are used wherever additional height is

needed for ease of operation or to clear

obstructions, such as handrails.

Caution: When using a pedestal mount or

side/rail mount, do not extend the telescopic

boom on your Easi-Troll HS \ Lake-Troll. The

increased leverage will cause excessive

strain and possible failure of the mount.

using wellnuts. Use the base as a template to

mark locations and drill four 1/2" holes. Mount the

base using four 1/4"-20 x 1 1/2" truss head screws

and four wellnuts. Tighten the screws so the

wellnuts are firmly compressed as pictured.

Decks thicker than 7/16"

For decks thicker than 7/16", or where the

underside of the deck is accessible, mount the

base with screws, nuts, and washers. Use the

base as a template to mark the locations and drill

four 9/32" holes. Use four 1/4" -20 x 2 1/2" truss

head screws and four each flat washers, lock

washers, and nuts. Fasten the base to the deck as

pictured.

NOTE: Wellnuts cannot be used on decks thicker

than 7/16".

Decks thinner than 1/4"

Use a Cannon Deck Plate to prevent

hole locations.

If access to the underside of the deck is not

available, the deck plate can be mounted using

screws and wellnuts. Drill 1/2" holes. Use four

1/4”-20 x 2" flat head screws and four wellnuts to

mount deck plate as pictured. Tighten the screws

so the wellnuts are firmly compressed.

Where the underside is accessible, mount

the deck plate using screws, nuts, and washers.

Drill 9/32" holes. Use four 1/4”-20 x 2" flat head

screws, nuts and washers (flat and lock). Fasten

plate to deck as pictured. To secure the low-

profile base to the deckplate use four 1/4”-20 x 1

1/2" truss head screws.

NOTE: When using the telescopic boom, we strongly recommend the use of a deck plate on all

boats to provide adequate stability for the downrigger.

Low-Profile Swivel Base

To mount the Low-Profile Swivel Base,

follow the same procedure as for the deck plate

with this exception: use four 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" truss

head screws to fasten the mounting base and four

additional 1/4"-20 x 2-1/2" truss head screws to

attach the swivel base to the boat deck.

Mounting the Downrigger on the

Base

Slide the bottom of the frame over the lip of the

base, with the boom outboard or facing the stern.

Move the frame over the base until the latch clicks

into place. If properly seated, the frame should

completely cover the base.

CAUTION: If not fully seated, your downrigger can

be dislodged from the base.

Tip: Periodically check base to ensure integrity.

The base should be replaced at least every 5

years.

Setting Up Your Downrigger

Attaching the Boom

The boom inserts into the downrigger frame.

Be sure that the boom is held securely by seating

it firmly against the shoulder inside the fame and

fastening the boom locking screw (#8 X 1” self

tapping) so that it engages the hole in the boom.

together and install two #4 x 1/2" screws into the

swivel head.

For Lake-Troll only: On swivel head assembly

with counter leave the corrugated spacer in place

until the assembly is snapped together, remove

the spacer and install the screws.

TIP: Adjusting the angle of the boom head can

help control cable wrap on the reel.

MOUNTING & SETUP

Attaching the Crank Handle

Assembly

Make sure the thrust bearing is sandwiched

between its two races. The thrust bearing spring

should be oriented where the narrow end is

toward the bearing. Slide the bearing with races

and spring over the ratchet shaft. Then, carefully

thread the crank handle onto the shaft and

continue turning the handle clockwise until the

clutch is fully tightened

NOTE: Place your fingertip on the edge of the

bearing and races. This allows the crank to be

threaded more easily until the spring puts

resistance on the clutch pad.

Cannon Uni-Release

The Cannon Uni-Release attaches directly to

the downrigger weight. Attach fishing line to the

clip at the end of the release, and then click

through a series of increasing tension settings.

The release can be used with any test line on salt

or fresh water and may be adjusted from 2 to 22

pounds of grip tension on the line.

To change line release tension, turn tension knob

to (+) to increase or (-) to decrease. Tension also

may vary according to where the line is placed in

the grips. Higher tension is on the line if it is set

back toward the hinge, and lower if set closer to

the opening. To open the release, spread the

release arms with thumb and forefinger applying

pressure to the sides.
