Blowback

downrigger weight when you pull it through the water

 

Blowback

 

Simply stated, blowback is what happens to the

Calculations

behind your boat. As your speed increases, so does the

horizontal distance between the weight and your

 

downrigger. The faster you go, the farther the weight is

 

behind you. The farther the weight is behind you, the

 

shallower the weight is.

 

The following charts provide you with blowback

 

information for three sizes of Cannon downrigger

 

weights pulled at three different speeds with no lures

 

attached and with no current. Current drag, water

 

salinity and the use of non-Cannon products will affect

 

your actual trolling depth.

 

As an example, the first chart shows that if you are

 

trolling at 4 MPH with an 8 pound weight and you have

 

100 FT. of cable in the water with no current; the

 

downrigger ball is actually at a depth of about 80 FT.

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.
