Operating The Downrigger - Cannon UNI-TROLL 10 STX-TS Manuel De L'utilisateur

OPERATING THE DOWNRIGGER

OPERATING YOUR DOWNRIGGER
After mounting the Cannon downrigger to your boat, release some line from your rod and reel so that the lure is
anywhere from 5 to 100 feet behind the boat. This is called drop back.
Attach the fi shing line fi rmly into the line release (see "Attaching the Line Release" for instructions). Lower the weight
to the desired depth as indicated on the depth meter. Place the fi shing rod in the rod holder and reel up the slack so
that your rod has a slight bend in it. When a fi sh strikes the lure, the line will separate from the release. Then you will be
free to fi ght the fi sh and bring it in on your rod and reel.
LOWERING THE WEIGHT
You can lower the trolling weight at a controlled rate by turning
the crank handle gently counter-clockwise (away from the boom).
Depending on how far you turn, you can let your trolling weight
descend as fast or as slowly as you wish. Turn the crank handle
clockwise (toward the boom) until the clutch is tight (the continuous
clicking will stop and the handle will not turn forward any further).
This gives you control to let it plunge rapidly or sink slowly to a
predetermined trolling depth. With multiple downriggers, you could
start all your weights creeping down, one at a time, and then stop
them each in turn.
RAISING THE WEIGHT
Turn the crank handle clockwise (toward the boom) as rapidly as you
desire to retrieve the trolling weight.
ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH TENSION
The clutch is built into the crank mechanism. Turn crank handle clockwise to increase the drag and counterclockwise to
reduce it.
CAUTION: Remove weight from downrigger before traveling either by water or transporting on trailer.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH METER
The Cannon Depth Meter provides non-slip accuracy, plus easy resetting. To
reset, just slide the meter away from the reel until the gears are disengaged.
Spin meter gear to change setting.
NOTE: Actual fi shing depth may vary from depth shown on meter due to
trolling speed and weight of cannon ball. (See "Blowback")
