Video - Cannon Magnum 10 Electric Downrigger
The Magnum downrigger by Cannon is highly durable and reliable, designed to withstand harsh conditions on the water. It features a one-piece composite construction with sealed electronics and motor. Key features include dual access rod holders, a 360-degree swivel base, a removable side plate for easy spool access, and an extendable boom. The 3-digit depth counter ensures precise bait positioning, and the auto UP button allows for quick retrieval of the downrigger cable at 250 feet per minute, helping to avoid line tangles when a fish is on. For more details, visit Cannon’s website or their YouTube channel.
