OPTIMUM USER INTERFACE

DOWNRIGGER TECHNOLOGY

TAKING CONTROL

HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY

The Cannon Optimum electric downrigger's one-of-a-kind user interface puts you in command with the option to view relevant, real-time trolling data and adjust your settings at the push of a button.

OPTIMUM KEYPAD

The Optimum keypad gives you full control of your downrigger as well as advanced functionality for even more control. Large up and down arrow keys allow for quick adjusting of your downrigger weight as well as the center Auto Up button to bring your weight up with a push of a button. Preset depths allows you to store up to 5 custom depths of the depths you often fish at. Within the Preset Depths menu, Optimum will also remember the last known depth after an Auto Up command. Also, easily navigate through the menu and power screens using the left, right and exit keys.

8 VIEWS

Each view provides a specific set of information and some views have editable data fields that can be customized to enhance your experience and preference. Change views with the simple press of the left and right arrow keys.
