Quick take
A plastic downrigger accessory that pulls the downrigger weight directly to the operator without leaning over the gunwale.
The Cannon Retro-Ease Weight Retriever is a small plastic accessory for downrigger trolling. It clips onto the cable and uses an 8-foot cord to draw the weight to you, so you do not have to lean over the gunwale or swing the boom out. It suits anglers running Cannon downriggers who handle weights often, such as when trolling for salmon, walleye or lake trout.
