Humminbird® CannonLink™

Humminbird® and Cannon® Partner To Give Anglers Control of Downriggers from the Helm

Two of the most trusted names in fishing, Humminbird® and Cannon®, have partnered to develop a system to control multiple downriggers. The CannonLink™ System Module from Humminbird allows an angler to control up to six Cannon Mag20 DT, Mag20 DT/HS or Mag20 DT/TS downriggers from one central 900 Series™, 700 Series™, or Matrix® Series Fishing System.

“The advantages anglers will receive from the system are dramatic,” said Darrell Watt, Humminbird Senior Global Product Manager. “For instance, the captain can see fish on the sonar and adjust the downriggers to the optimal fishing depth while the crew tends lines and enjoys the fishing.”

When the system is incorporated with the Cannon Speed-N-Temp Sensor, the captain can view sonar, temperature at depth, water clarity and speed at the ball all on the LCD displays to position the bait directly in the strike zone.

Other benefits of the CannonLink System Module include:

• Automatically deploy or retrieve downriggers from any Humminbird Fishing System
• Set the downrigger operation to Manual for complete control, Bottom Track to maintain distance off the bottom or Cycle to continuously move the downriggers between two depths
  
• Monitor the downrigger depth and operation graphically on-screen combined with the sonar graph
  
• Set the Positive Ion Control for the downrigger directly from the Fishing System
  
• Control downriggers from the helm or flybridge when using the new InterLink System Module and a second Fishing System networked together

Current owners of any 900 Series, 700 Series, or Matrix Series Fishing System can upgrade their internal software to add compatibility with the CannonLink System Module. The software update is provided free to all registered owners.
