Quick take
Manual downrigger that positions baits and lures at precise depths for trolling, with one-hand clutch deploy.
The Cannon Easi-Troll is a manual downrigger for trolling anglers who want to put bait at a set depth without a battery or motor. It has a 24-inch stainless steel boom with an enclosed end pulley that keeps the line from jumping out, and a 1.5:1 retrieval ratio for bringing the weight back up. A one-hand clutch lets you control the descent of up to 12 pounds of weight, and the crank handle is shaped for comfortable cranking.
