There's an excellent reason why Cannon downriggers have changed the way hundreds of thousands of anglers fish all over the country: Cannon downriggers allow you to place the right lure at the right depth at the right time - and keep it there until a fish strikes.

Cannon downriggers present your lure in a way that tantalizes the fish into striking. The catching of the fish is up to you. You have to have the patience, or the finesse, or, in the case of a lake trout, simply the tenacity to continue cranking until you haul up the fish from the depths.

The Power of Positive Fishing

On the West Coast, anglers are talking about a startling discovery: fish are attracted to a positive field of ions in the water. The strategy for success, according to the book that started all the hullabaloo, "Secrets of Fishing with Electricity" by Ollie Rode, is to create a positive field of ions around your boat to enhance your fishing. But there's a catch. Many boat and tackle combinations create a negative ion field.

The ace in the hole for many Northwest anglers has been various homemade devices to surround their fishing lures with a positive field of ions.

Now we've made things easier for anglers everywhere - by equipping Cannon electric downriggers with the means to create and maintain a positive field of ions. You can spend your time reeling in the fish that strike the lures being trolled by your highly positive Cannon downriggers.

Sidefinders & Downriggers: A Deadly Combination

When you combine Cannon downriggers and Bottom Line Sidefinders, you can locate and catch even more fish. With Sidefinder, you can look off to the sides of your boat to spot surface running fish, shallow water fish, and deep cruising fish at the same time. So you can set your downrigger pattern to cover a much more productive area.

When you locate schools of baitfish, set your cannonballs a few feet below the school and pass back through. Most likely, you'll find one or more predators cruising along beneath the little guys, staying close to supper.
