3 Pack 12 oz Cannonball Sinkers

Key Features

• 12 OZ HEAVY DOWNRIGGER BALL — DEEP WATER TROLLING SPECIALIST — Each precision-cast 12 ounce (3/4 lb) round lead downrigger weight is sized for deep-water salmon and lake trout programs targeting fish staging in 100–200 ft of water. Late-summer Lake Michigan king salmon, deep-summer Lake Ontario lake trout, and Pacific Coast Chinook trolling all demand 12 oz downrigger balls to maintain accurate depth readings against current and at higher trolling speeds.
• 3 HEAVY-DUTY DOWNRIGGER BALLS PER PACK — FOR CHARTER AND TOURNAMENT — Three 12 oz cannonball weights per pack delivers 36 oz (2.25 lb) of pure cast lead — sized for charter captains, tournament salmon anglers, and offshore Pacific trolling crews running 2–3 downriggers off a single boat. Each weight is built to live on the downrigger cable across a full season of heavy use.
• MINIMIZES BLOW-BACK AT HIGH TROLLING SPEEDS — At trolling speeds above 3.0 mph (typical for late-fall king salmon and Pacific Chinook programs), lighter downrigger balls develop significant blow-back — the cable angles back from vertical, and your displayed depth no longer matches actual depth. The 12 oz cannonball reduces blow-back to keep depth accurate, critical for fish that hold in narrow thermal zones.
• OFFSHORE TUNA AND DEEP-WATER GROUPER TROLLING — Beyond salmon, the 12 oz weight serves Gulf of Mexico tuna trolling crews running deep-diving plugs behind heavy planers, and South Atlantic grouper trolling programs working 80–150 ft depths over offshore structure. The smooth round profile tracks straight at heavy speeds and resists damage from rocky structure scrapes.
• CHARTER-GRADE BRASS EYELET AND PURE LEAD CONSTRUCTION — Heavy-duty polished brass wire eyelet rated for 80–130 lb braided downrigger setback lines. Pure lead body delivers maximum density-per-ounce for the smallest possible silhouette in the water, minimizing drag and cable angle. Compatible with all major downrigger brands and release clip systems. WARNING: This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects. Wash hands after use.
