Introduction to Controlled Depth Fishing Undoubtedly there are many fishermen familiar

with the methods and use of controlled depth fishing. During the mid 1960's the state of Michigan intro- duced Pacific salmon into the Great Lakes in an at- tempt to revitalize its sport fishing industry. From this successful transplant, new fishing techniques and equipment were developed. One such method was controlled depth fishing which enabled fishermen to place a lure at a desired depth by utilizing downrig- gers.

Because of the varying factors (water tempera- ture, thermocline, weather, tides, time of day, or time of year) it is necessary for successful fishing to main- tain specific water depths that coincide with fish movements and feeding patterns.

One essential feature of the downrigger is the depth meter or gauge that indicates lure depth. This allows the angler to control as well as return to specific depths where fish have been caught.

Due to the success of controlled depth fishing, downriggers are now being used throughout the world to catch a wide variety of species in both fresh and salt water. Whether fishing for blues off Rhode Island, walleyes in Lake Erie, sailfish off the coast of Florida, or stripers in Tennessee, the use of down- riggers will make your fishing more successful and more enjoyable.

DIGI-TROLL 5, DIGI-TROLL 5 TS specifications

The Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 are sophisticated trolling motor controllers that represent a leap forward in fishing technology. Designed for the angler who demands precision, efficiency, and ease of use, these devices offer a suite of features that enhance the fishing experience.

A standout feature of both models is the integrated digital depth counter, which provides real-time readings of the depth at which the bait is deployed. This valuable information allows anglers to optimize their lure presentation and accurately target specific species. The ability to monitor depth digitally eliminates the guesswork and ensures that the bait is presented where the fish are most likely to be.

The DIGI-TROLL series also boasts advanced line counter technology, enabling users to track how much line has been let out. This feature is particularly beneficial when trolling multiple lines, as it helps maintain consistent bait depth and spacing. The precise line counter enhances productivity by reducing tangles and ensuring that each line is effectively set at the desired depth.

Another significant characteristic is the dual-speed control that both models offer. This allows users to customize the speed of their downrigger, giving anglers the versatility to adapt to changing conditions or particular fish behavior. The DIGI-TROLL 5 TS takes this a step further with a feature for auto-stop, which helps prevent overrun and provides added convenience when adjusting settings.

Furthermore, both the DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 come with intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. Backlit LCD displays make it easy to read information even in low-light conditions, which is vital during early morning or late evening fishing trips. The buttons are strategically placed for quick adjustments, ensuring that anglers can focus on catching fish rather than fiddling with complex settings.

Durability is another hallmark of the DIGI-TROLL series. Built to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, these devices feature corrosion-resistant materials that ensure longevity even under harsh conditions. The Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 are not just tools, but reliable companions that enhance every fishing outing.

Whether you are a seasoned pro or a weekend warrior, the Cannon DIGI-TROLL 5 TS and DIGI-TROLL 5 offer essential features and robust technology to elevate your fishing game. With these innovative trolling motor controllers, the path to a successful day on the water is clearer and more efficient than ever before.
