Cannon Downrigger Trolling Flash Weight, Black w/ Prism Tape 8lb

Cannon Downrigger Trolling Flash Weight, Black w/ Prism Tape 8lb

An 8 lb downrigger trolling weight with a black vinyl coating, flashing prism design, and tracking keel—built to get your gear down while adding extra flash to your Alaska salmon trolling spread.

Why you need this:

Your downrigger weight already has to go down there. Cannon figured it might as well contribute to the fishing while it's at it.

The Cannon Flash Weight incorporates a flashing prism design intended to add extra attraction to your trolling presentation. Instead of hanging an ordinary weight below your gear, the reflective prism surface adds flash as you troll.

This 8 lb version gives Alaska anglers a lighter option within the Flash Weight lineup for matching their downrigger setup to fishing depth, trolling speed, and conditions.

What's it made with?

Cannon finishes the weight with a black vinyl coating and incorporates reflective prism material into the design. The weight also contains lead.

What's this good for?

• Alaska salmon trolling
• Downrigger fishing
• Chinook (King) Salmon
• Coho (Silver) Salmon
• 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 the 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.

Cannon incorporates a keel into the Flash Weight to help it track accurately and prevent cable twisting while trolling.

Choose your weight based on your downrigger equipment, trolling speed, current, depth, and fishing conditions. Always inspect your cable and connections before deployment.

What can we say?

A regular downrigger weight sinks.

This one sinks with a little razzle-dazzle.

For Alaska salmon anglers who already run flashers, dodgers, and other attractors, the Flash Weight fits right into the program: get the gear down and put some extra flash in the neighborhood.

Why we love this one:

It's more than just dead weight hanging underneath your trolling spread.

The combination of the flashing prism design, tracking keel, and black vinyl coating gives the Cannon Flash Weight a little more functionality than a basic cannonball.

We also carry these in several individual weight sizes, making it easier to match your Flash Weight to your particular downrigger setup.
