A straightforward 10 lb cannonball downrigger weight for getting your trolling setup down to the depth where Alaska salmon are traveling.
Why you need this:
A downrigger doesn't do much without some weight hanging on the business end.
This 10 lb Cannonball Downrigger Weight gives you a simple way to get your trolling presentation down into the water column and maintain your desired fishing depth. The traditional round cannonball profile keeps things uncomplicated—attach it to your downrigger setup, send it down, and start fishing.
For Alaska anglers trolling for salmon, having the right downrigger weight helps you put your bait or lure where you're marking fish instead of hoping they'll come upstairs for dinner.
Secure the cannonball weight to the terminal end of your downrigger cable using the appropriate downrigger hardware. Attach your fishing line to your release, lower the weight to your desired depth, and troll your lure or bait through the strike zone.
The amount of weight you'll want can depend on your downrigger equipment, fishing depth, trolling speed, current, and conditions. We carry cannonball weights in multiple sizes so you can match the weight to your setup.
Always inspect your downrigger cable and connections before deployment. And remember: 10 lb cannonballs and toes have been enemies since the invention of gravity.
No fancy paint job. No fish-shaped profile. No need for a three-page instruction manual.
It's a cannonball.
Its job is to go down.
For Alaska salmon trolling, sometimes that's exactly what you need.
It's the old-school, straightforward approach to downrigger fishing. Cannonball weights have a simple job: provide the weight needed to get your trolling presentation down and help you control fishing depth.
We also stock multiple sizes, making it easier to choose a weight that works with your downrigger and the conditions you're fishing.
