Fishing With Your Downrigger

After programming your Digi-Troll, release some

line from your rod and reel so that the lure is anywhere

from 5 to 100 feet behind the boat. This is called drop

back. Attach the ﬁ shing line ﬁ rmly into the line release.

Press and hold the down key to lower the weight to the

desired depth as indicated on the display or select a

pre-programmed weight depth. Place the ﬁ shing rod in

the rod holder and reel up the slack so that your rod has

a slight bend in it. When a ﬁ sh strikes the lure, the line

will separate from the release. Then you will be free to

ﬁ ght the ﬁ sh and bring it in on your rod and reel.

Manual Descent

By turning the clutch knob gently clockwise (toward

the boom), you can let your trolling weight descend as

fast or as slowly as you wish. Turning the knob counter-

clockwise (away from the boom) stops the weight. This

gives you control to let it plunge rapidly or sink slowly to

a predetermined trolling depth. With multiple downrig-

gers, you could start all your weights creeping down,

one at a time, and then stop them each in turn.

Note: In order to track line out, the Digi-Troll must

be turned on.

WARNING—DO NOT TOUCH THE CABLE REEL

WHILE THE DOWNRIGGER IS IN USE!

The Positive Ion Control System

Your boat has an electrical charge around the hull in

water. If a boat is properly grounded and has a proper

zinc anode, that charge should be slightly positive when

measured from ground to the downrigger cable. Positive

Ion Control (PIC) is the use of electricity to control that

charge and its ﬂ uctuation so that it is always maintained

at a speciﬁ ed set voltage.

The practice of setting up and maintaining a slight

positive charge on ﬁ shing gear has been used by com-

mercial ﬁ shermen for many years. This practice has

enabled some ﬁ sherman to increase yield when used

along with other good ﬁ shing and boating practices.

Cannon’s electric downriggers offer ﬁ shermen a big

advantage in being able to stabilize and control the posi-

tive charge around their boat. Because of the composite

construction of the frame, Cannon downriggers are

insulated from your boat’s hull charge.

When the stainless steel downrigger cable is low-

ered into the water, the natural ionization between the

cable and the boat creates a positive charge of 0.7 to

0.9 volts in saltwater and 0.3 to 0.6 volts in fresh water.

This natural voltage is dependent upon salinity and min-

eral content of the water. Your actual voltage may vary.

Fishing Theory

Cable Terminator

Weight Insulator

The Short Stop System

The Short Stop system is composed of three criti-

cal components: the electronic unit, the reel conductive

path, and the trolling weight insulator.

While the downrigger cable is in the water, there is

a minute electrical current that ﬂ ows between the cable

and the grounded metal boat components in the water.

When the cable clears the water, this current ﬂ ow will

stop. The Short Stop system senses this interruption

and turns off the motor. The trolling weight insulator is

used to break the cable contact to the water while the

weight is still in the water. The reel conductive path al-

lows the circuit path to be made through the structure of

the downrigger.

NOTE: It may be necessary to use two trolling

weight insulators.

Stopping the weight at water level eliminates the cable

strain caused by bouncing weights or weights hitting

the boom end. Stopping at water level will also keep the

weight from hitting the boat hull.

NOTICE: Short stop and Positive Ion

Control features do not function when

spooled with monoﬁ lament or super

lines or if the boat is not properly

grounded.
