Cannon Downrigger Trolling Flash Weight, Black w/ Prism Tape 12lb

Cannon Downrigger Trolling Flash Weight, Black w/ Prism Tape 12lb

A 12 lb downrigger trolling weight with a black vinyl coating, flashing prism design, and tracking keel—built to get your Alaska trolling spread down while adding extra flash below your gear.

Why you need this:

When you're trolling Alaska saltwater, getting your bait or lure to the right depth is the name of the game. The 12 lb Cannon Flash Weight gives you a heavier downrigger option while adding a little more than just weight to your setup.

Cannon's reflective prism design adds flash underneath your trolling presentation, giving the weight an attraction component while it's doing its primary job of helping control depth.

The built-in tracking keel is designed to help the weight track accurately through the water while reducing cable twist. At 12 lb, this version gives you a solid step up from the lighter Flash Weights in our lineup.

What's it made with?

The Cannon Flash Weight features a black vinyl coating with reflective prism material incorporated into the design.

The weight contains lead and incorporates a tracking keel designed to improve tracking and reduce cable twisting while trolling.

What's this good for?

• Alaska salmon trolling
• Downrigger fishing
• Chinook (King) Salmon
• Coho (Silver) Salmon
• Deeper trolling applications
• Saltwater trolling
• Controlling trolling depth
• Adding flash below your trolling presentation
• Coastal and marine fishing

How to use?

Attach the Flash Weight securely to your downrigger cable using appropriate terminal hardware. Connect your fishing line to the downrigger release, lower the weight to your desired depth, and troll your bait or lure through the strike zone.

Choose your weight based on your downrigger equipment, trolling speed, current, fishing depth, and conditions. Make sure your downrigger and associated hardware are rated appropriately for the weight you're using.

Always inspect your downrigger cable, connections, and terminal hardware before deployment. Twelve pounds disappearing over the side is only fun when it's still attached to the boat.

What can we say?

It's a downrigger weight with a side hustle.

The 12 lb Flash Weight handles the important business of getting your trolling gear down while its prism design puts some additional flash into the water.

We figure if you're already sending 12 lb of weight down there, it might as well look productive.

Why we love this one:

The 12 lb size gives Alaska anglers a heavier option without jumping all the way to the 16 lb model.

You still get the features that separate Cannon's Flash Weight from a basic cannonball: reflective prism flash, a black vinyl coating, and a tracking keel designed to help the weight track accurately and reduce cable twisting.
