Heritage & History
Cannon Downriggers was founded in 1973 in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, developing electric downrigger technology for Great Lakes trolling anglers who needed precise control over lure depth when targeting chinook salmon, coho, and lake trout in deep, cold water. The downrigger became the essential tool for Great Lakes trolling, and Cannon became the dominant American manufacturer of the equipment.
Cannon downriggers evolved from basic manual models to sophisticated electric systems with digital depth counters, auto-stop features, and rod holders designed to maximize trolling efficiency. The company's products are used by Great Lakes charter captains, inland lake trollers, and ocean trollers targeting salmon, tuna, and other deep-running species.
Made in Cannon Falls, Minnesota
Cannon manufactures downrigger systems at the Cannon Falls, Minnesota facility. Production involves machining boom arms and mounting systems, wiring electric motor assemblies, assembling spool and counter mechanisms, and testing each unit before shipment. The electric downrigger motors must be robust enough to retrieve heavy lead balls repeatedly over a full day of trolling.
Cannon Falls is in southeastern Minnesota, not far from the Mississippi River and within the broader Great Lakes fishing region that Cannon's products serve. The company's Minnesota manufacturing connects it authentically to the trolling culture of the Great Lakes, where charter captains on Lake Michigan, Superior, and Erie have relied on Cannon downriggers for decades.
