Quick take
A 12 lb downrigger weight with vinyl coating and keel stabilization that tracks straight and prevents cable twist during trolling.
This is a 12 lb bullet-shaped downrigger weight from Cannon, finished in black vinyl to protect the boat's side. Reflective prism tape on the fin adds flash at depth, and the tapered body is made to track straight at different trolling speeds. It suits anglers running a downrigger for freshwater or saltwater trolling.
