Cannon Magnum 5 Electric Downrigger

The Cannon Magnum 5 Electric Downrigger eliminates manual weight retrieval and puts precision depth control at your fingertips. This motorized downrigger automates the cranking process, allowing you to focus on fishing rather than equipment maintenance. A flip of the up/down switch triggers automatic retrieval, with the system stopping precisely at the water line—a feature that saves significant time and physical effort on the water, whether you're fishing a single rod or managing a full spread.

At 24 pounds with dimensions of 16 x 11 x 24 inches, the Magnum 5 is engineered for reliable saltwater and freshwater trolling applications. The three-digit depth counter provides real-time monitoring of your weight's position, allowing you to dial in productive depths with repeatability across multiple passes. Electric operation delivers consistent power delivery without the fatigue associated with hand-crank systems, making it particularly valuable during extended fishing sessions or when deploying multiple weights simultaneously.

The Magnum 5 serves both weekend trollers and serious offshore anglers who demand efficiency gains that compound throughout a fishing day. Recreational fishermen benefit from reduced physical demand and faster line recovery, while professional charter operations and tournament competitors gain the ability to work more spreads in less time. The automatic retrieval feature reduces the risk of hook-ups while weights are ascending, a critical safety advantage when operating multiple downriggers in proximity to one another.

Cannon downriggers are established equipment in the trolling market, recognized for dependable motor performance and straightforward mechanical design. The Magnum 5's electric system addresses the primary pain point of traditional crank-handle systems—the time and labor required to raise weights between depth changes or when transitioning between fishing areas.
